Iuric reading a tome he doesn't quite understand notices the shaking "What was that?" He looks around and notices his companions are gone and asks the librarian "Is that supposed to happen?"

The librarian is sweating profusely and praying to a small idol.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no..."

He hunkers down under one of the shelves.

"Boy, it was nice knowing you"

"well we can't open that door, thats where Mags went with Iuric, whose presumably dead now. And I set a pig on fire through there. The K door is the only way forward. Unless one of you wants to kill Stroupy for me and then the way out is the way forward, am I right?"

Ooc : Is there another stairs or just the 3 doors?

OOC: There's the crystal stairs going up and the three doors.

Fourier

OOC: As the tower is confusing let me clear something up. There is the A, R, K doors. Enter A once and you go to the library, enter A a second time and you go to the hut where Mags was. Obviously characters don't know this

Evade

Iuric heads out of the library and calls to the group.

Banjo

Retula takes out her tome, binding Hank, the shadow's shade ; Jet, the shadow's instinct.

Ooc : Retula's shadow can detach and act as an unseen assistant / mage hand. Except its a shadow. And Jet detects magic and makes her nose itch both as a warning and Marco Polo locator. Both are low level powers, should be in line with the capabilities of the bound souls but if I'm taking the piss let me know. If I could take far more piss before you'll stop me, also let me know.

"Oh hey, Iuric. Not dead then? Well, give it time..."

"Nice fist work on that crack Sarric" Karinth says patting his friends shoulder "All of you, I fear we may have set something terrible in motion..." he smiles an evil grin "...on the plus side, I'd wager some of the tower's defenses are down"

"Why thanks Karinth, i think....


Now, give me a hand checking these stairs for traps. And Mizzy, give us a hand too with you skills."


Sarric checkes the stairs for traps.

"Like, duuuuh, that was my point dude. So what the hell did you and Mags do in there? It's like he broke the world and fell through. How come you didn't?"

She approaches the K door, looking for traps, gesturing to the halfling thief to help while waiting for her nose to tell her more.

"R door was beds. Rest maybe? But that doesn't explain the pig. THE PIG!"

She opens R and calls out to Bacon if he's not already toast.

Sarric checkes the stairs for traps.

Mizzy, being very careful, finds that each step contains a poison tipped spring. She slowly manages to remove each one over the course of ten minutes.

Unfortunately Bacon is bacon.

Sarric climbs the steps slowly and carefully.

"Wow. 2 cremated in one day. 3 if H shows up and doesn't have a stellar excuse. High score!"

She follows Sarric up the stairs, sending her shadow ahead to scout.

Evade

OOC: Mags wasn't in the library was he?

Fourier

The shadow warns Retula that there is a large hydra at the top of the stairs. It sits on top of a fountain in large purple chamber with stairs behind it and two large alcoves on either side.

Retula learns this when they are halfway up the stairs.

OOC: No, but he did go through the same door

"Nothing out of the ordinary happened in the library, until it started shaking that is."

OOC: Vrakrash and Iuric STR(Athletics) check

"Sarric, stop. Big bad at the top. Lots of heads. I .. uh... I don't think there's a way past unless we go through?"

sKeith

Sarric stop before reaching the top and backtracks to retula. "Maybe we get whole party together for this."

Evade

"A sound idea Sarric"

Banjo

(ooc : necro busy but rolled 5, 11 with his str mod. Unsure if he has proficiency)

Fourier

OOC: Don't know if you saw it there Evade, STR(Atheltics) check

OOC: Sorry, missed it. It was 5, a natural 1 if that makes a difference.

Fourier

A pieces of the ceiling break off and land on Vrakrash and Iuric. Iuric is completely pinned beneath his. Vrakrash only has his right leg trapped.

A new fissure begins to open, with more the shadow beings visible behind it. Suddenly the librarian runs out.

"I have to contain this breach, I need to implode this level" he says racing into the K room.

Evade

OOC: Is Grodinz around?

EDIT: And can Iuric speak?

Iuric scans the level for Grodinz, but he seems to have vanished. Thinking back, he last saw him around the same time Hetyaro vanished.

OOC: Yep, his shoulders and head are visible

sKeith

Sarric asks Karinth,Ser boros and the halflind to give him a hand lifting the ceiling pieces of their friends and anybody else around.
ooc:combined strenght.

Evade

"My thanks Sarric" Iuric tries to lift too if he can.

"But like they're right behi- oh for ****s sake!"
She runs back down the stairs, trying to lever the rubble off Vrakrash's foot.
"Mags, seal it! Or you do this, I'll...uh...play the guitar?"

Fourier

As they being to heave the masonry off Iuric, a gate rips open.

OOC: Init
