    Or maybe she's rolling D20s to see how many of us failed to make our saves ...

    I'll draw my sword. Quiet spots are never good news in this place.

    Hrmm... this reminds Tinxina of something. Before at the entrance Tiaxina thought the traps there were the ones from the poem but what if there is a third one here, and those were the two traps mentioned. What if after this door there is a trap with a fortuitous fall?

    *Voice: Don't tell them what you think you pitiful nincompoop, you can have all the gold here and share it with your GodKing Tiax*

    Let's go slowly down the corridor checking for traps. When we come to the turn I will attempt to hide in the shadows and look round the corner.

    There is, as before, another trap just beyond the door. You plug it fast and move cautiously on, finding no more traps. You hide in shadows and peer around the corner. The corridor runs north for as far as you can see...

    *Tiaxina searches for a trap, but if she finds one, she wishes to examine it, not jam it*

    OOC: Also, what do you guys think of evil Tiax trapped inside LG Tiaxina's head?

    OOC: The internal struggle is gripping, yes.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I guess we keep going? Keep checking for traps and hiding in the shadows to look round corners.

    I like it. He's the devil on her shoulder...

    @IchigoRXC I like it. It's interesting to see the way he wants to react versus the way he's forced to react by the mist.

    Tiaxina, do you mean this last (third) pit trap or something beyond it?

    I'm loving it but Alora wants the old Tiax back so she can torment him.

    @ichigoRXC ooc better then the softcore porn of the other newly female, and deffinately makes tiax more interesting, but makes me wonder if the DM is setting up a troll somewhere along the way. Like when it gets hot and heavy and the magic wears off. :)

    And the tiax in your mind thing is actually fitting of it, but it also adds to the mystery for me. If you're getting prompts from the GM to the side (that only your char would know) or what. Tiax is deffinatly the most interesting char so far with alora in 2nd place. This is due to the players ability, of course :)

    It was more like the other way around.

    The corridor continues North for 160 feet before it ends at another door, this one iron-banded, with multiple locks. Beyond the door, when you stop to listen, you hear music and voices raised in happy singing.

    Who do you think stung Tiax's ass? An invisible wasp?

    We've come all this way and we're back in the pub with Garrick?

    Ah, that explains it. I thought it came from the black portal in the hallway.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    TIAXINA- it's a 10' deep pit trap, with six poisoned spikes jutting up from the bottom. The same greenish poison you saw on the other trap near the entrance.
  • IchigoRXCIchigoRXC Member Posts: 1,001
    *Voice: "Leave them to their searching, let them past and focus on that 3rd trap. Tiax feels the evil coming rom beyond, and he knows you feel it too. Your gut feeling is that of a God Tiaxina, do not let it frighten you. Harness it and journey on into greatness, and one day you will rule."*

    You guys go ahead, Tiaxina is going to make sure this trap is safe... she means.. sorry. Tiaxina meant yes I believe this third trap door holds the key to something. But then again deciphering that Poem is mighty hard

    OOC: @Awong124 @Permidion_Stark It was definitely the other way round haha

    "There are a bunch of key holes, but we don't have any keys. Perhaps we missed them."

    Why does happy singing fill me with more dread than weird silence?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    You find no traps on the door, or the locks.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Then let's help Tiaxina with that third trap door before progressing through the big scary door.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    "Because we are in the tomb of an evil sorceror?" Xzara points out. "That's enough to raise the hairs on the back of my neck, singing or no."
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay, TIAXINA, what are you doing to check the trap, exactly?
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    I'll check for traps on the door. If I don't find any I'll have a go at the locks.
  • jhart1018jhart1018 Member Posts: 909
    Anything that seems harmless in this place...*shudder*...I'm just waiting for it to try to tear my face off.

    Well obviously Tiax was wrong, again. Tiaxina means... she, oh my. Imoen can you and Alora just look at this trap and make sure Tiaxina has not missed a thing, she has ben rathered fatigued after having her strength drained from her and is worried she has missed something important. She is sure she has deciphered the poem...

    "Are these locks actually pickable, or are 'the mechanism that operates this does not have a conventional lock,and may be warded against simple spells'?"
