** (775) Ian Cromwell turns from facing the wall,now
that he is not being pinned against it by the force from the water,looks around
noticing the dust on the floor now. **
** (802) Calehan knows he can't swim so he is quite
stunned when the water disappears. **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Praise be to Solnor."
(806) Garret: "That's a lot of
dust..."
(806) Garret: *ACHOO!*
** (802) Calehan looks around to see where everyone
landed. **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Better dust than
death by drowning."
** (775) Ian Cromwell moves to the area that the
water was coming from,looks into the opening. **
(806) Garret: "Granted." :dusting
off caked dust, the swordsman makes his way to the destroyed doors calling out,
"Heli.. you still here?"
(763) DM: A wall of iron appears out of nowhere
blocking your view into where the water came from. In the brief glimpse that
you had, it seemed to be an empty chamber.
(806) Garret: "Hmph..." :knocks
his gauntleted fist against the iron door.:
(775) Ian Cromwell: " It would appear
that whatever may be in there,is not meant to be seen by anyone."

** (775) Ian Cromwell hangs his flail on his belt **
** (775) Ian Cromwell hands his shield to

(763) DM: The wall seems to be affixed in place.
** (775) Ian Cromwell steps back from the wall,his
face red from the excertion," It did not even budge." **
** (806) Garret groans, and tries calling out for
some aid, "Heli. We could use and assist here." **
(763) DM: There is no response.
** (775) Ian Cromwell takes his sheild back from
Garret," Garret,go check out the deadend hallway,there must be a secret
door somewhere else down here." **
(806) Garret: "Heli! Stop playing
around. We're in a hurry."
(814) Calehan: "Okay, I don't like
this."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Maybe she found
the way out of here when the water struck."
** (806) Garret furrows his brow with some as no
answer comes. Seriously he inquires, "Did anyone see exactly what happened
when she disappeared?" **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " I did not know
she disappeared,I was forced against the wall,then suddenly I was not."
(814) Calehan: "I think she did something
with a ring. It might have been the one the Efreet gave her, I didn't
see."
** (806) Garret begins heading down the hall(23) to
check the mouth with the drain **
** (814) Calehan follows Garret anxiously. **
(763) DM: Most of the water managed to be
transformed to dust, but what little did not drained through the opening in the
mouth in the stone face.
** (814) Calehan incants a brief spell and a hand
lights up with cool, blue flame providing him the light to see as he heads down
the opposite corridor from Garret (to 24) (Just a little light.) **
(806) Garret: "Hmm.. " :looks
around with some annoyance. "The room looked empty before the iron wall
popped up. But... she may have been out of sight when she went in."

(799) Helisandra: "Yeah thanks. So, did
everyone survive the water then?"
(806) Garret: "Yep. All accounted for..
now." :resheathes his blade: "So, what happened to you?"
** (806) Garret begins back toward the others. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell steps back from the
wall,looking at the large dent in the iron wall,his chest heaving from the
swinging of his flail,he picks it back up once more,putting all his
weight,strength,anger into his swing," For Solnor!" [1d20+24] ->

(799) Helisandra: "In short - I got
transported away. At least I made a new 'friend' as well." she tells
Garret as they return to the others.
(763) DM: The wall's still there...
(806) Garret: "Oh.. that sounds
nice."
(806) Garret: :To Ian: "How goes the
hammering?"
(799) Helisandra: "Well, it actually
wasn't that bad. However, I want to warn you - I had to agree to help someone
in the future in order to return, and I have no idea when, or if, they will
collect on that. Just something to keep in mind."
** (824) T'a K'shet watches Ian. "Should T'a to
remove the wall? He seems to be having trouble." **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " A few more swings
and it shall fall like the rest of this place."
** (824) T'a K'shet looks sup. "Who?" **
(806) Garret: :shrugs to Heli: "Like
once more life threatening agreement is going to kill us." :as he speaks
with some sarcasm, he makes his way to the corner where he saw the outline of
the door.
(799) Helisandra: "Who? Just one known as
Basht." Heli seems to dismiss the whole thing.
** (806) Garret tries to get his bearings based on
what he saw through the peep hole, then closes his eyes and tries feeling
blindly for the unseen door. **

** (775) Ian Cromwell gets ready to swing his flail
at the wall once more,when he realizes that Helisandra has returned. **
(799) Helisandra: "By the way Calehan, I
think you should hold onto this." She pulls a clay ring out of her pocket
and hands it to him. "It's better suited for use by a mage anyway - less
drawbacks."
** (806) Garret gives Cale a careless shrug as he
keeps feeling around. "No better ideas. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell places his flail back in its
hanger,picks up his shield and walks over to where the others are gathered. **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " So where were you
Helisandra?"
(841) Nivloc (exit): 00:08
(799) Helisandra: "The Beyond, or so I
was informed. By the way, how much time has passed since the flood?"
(775) Ian Cromwell: " An hour more or
less I would guess."
(799) Helisandra: "Hmm, she was right.
Should have known." Heli looks over the wall of iron, and the
large dent that Ian managed to put into it. "Hmm, that seems to present a
problem, doesn't it?"
(775) Ian Cromwell: " What the wall or
the dent?"
(799) Helisandra: "The wall." Heli
looks over the wall for herself, searching for any clue as to how to open it.
(852) Nivloc (enter): 00:13
(852) Nivloc (exit): 00:13
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Well either the
way out is behind some secret door,or it is behind this wall Helisandra."
** (806) Garret keeps pawing around with his eyes
closed **
(799) Helisandra: "Then we try one, then
the other. If the glass here was just for the water trap, I'd think that they
would not need such a strong steel wall to replace it. Thus, I think there is
more behind it."
(763) DM: (back)
(814) Calehan: "More what though? The room
must have been filled with water, and I didn't get a chance to see what
else."
(806) Garret: (welcome back!)
(775) Ian Cromwell: " That is what I
was thinking as well Helisandra."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " There may be a
secret door that leads out of here Calehan."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Why have a room
filled with water,then close it off with an iron wall."
(799) Helisandra: "A door out? A ladder
to the surface? A door to Acererak? Many things could be there."
(806) Garret: "Misdirection..."
(824) T'a K'shet: "To halt anyone who gets
past the water?"
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Well if there is
no other way to open the wall,I will get back to hammering on it with my
flail."
(799) Helisandra: (( Just a moment ))
(775) Ian Cromwell: " It sprang up to
fast for that T'a K'shet,we just barely got a look inside when the wall
appeared."
(824) T'a K'shet: ((AFK a few. We got folks
over fer a barbie, so I should make an appearance for lunch. Be back within a
half hour or so most likely))
whispering to Lunauc, I mentioned that you found
the panel that opened the secret door
(763) DM: ((so anyway, what next?))
** (799) Helisandra stops searching after a while.
"Well, this is nothing like any door I've seen. If I had to guess, I'd say
that there isn't anyway to open it. At least, not without magically removing
it, or bashing it enough. So, have at it Ian, if you want." **
** (799) Helisandra then makes her way to Garret, in
the area where the secret door that she and Garret both saw should be located.
(Area 24). "Find anything?" she asks Garret. **
** (806) Garret grins as Helisandra asks the
question, and he pushes something on the wall. **
** (799) Helisandra's jaw drops slightly.
"But... how? Oh, nevermind." **
(763) DM: A panel slides open, revealing a
corridor beyond.
(814) Calehan: "I can barely believe that
actually worked."
** (806) Garret turns to Heli, and raises his hands
in a meditative posture, as he explains sagaciously, "The way of the
warrior is more than simple the pursuit of body. Mind and spirit must also be
elevated, if one is to reach enlightnment." **
** (799) Helisandra peeks past the open door.
"Well done Garret." She then calls back to the others. "Think
Garret found our way out." **
(799) Helisandra: "Get off it Garret, you
know you just got lucky." she gives him a quick jab in the side with her
elbow before stepping into the corridor to determine where it goes.
** (775) Ian Cromwell walks over to where the others
are gathered. **
(806) Garret: :shrugs before following:
"Luck is a kind of wisdom."
(763) DM: The corridor proceeds westward, and
descends deeper into the earth. A distinct aroma of saltwater reaches your
nostrils.

(862) TOLAN (enter): 00:41
(799) Helisandra: "Not the way out, but
it might lead to Acererak." she whispers back to whoever is behind her.
(862) TOLAN (exit): 00:42
** (775) Ian Cromwell follows along behind
Garret," Luck has nothing to do with wisdom." **
** (799) Helisandra continues along the path -
keeping a careful eye out as she progresses. She pauses before entering the
room she comes to, trying to take in the contents of the room first. **
(806) Garret: "I beg to differ. You
must be lucky enough to survive long enough to gain wisdom."
(763) DM: The surfaces of this chamber are made
of the same dark green marble you found in the entranceway of the Tomb. The
ceiling is 25' above and a central moat surrounds an island roughly 30' x 30'.
At the center of the island is a body wrapped in white linen strips. A closed
stone door can be seen at the east end of the room. An open archway and a canal
leading out can be seen on the west end of the chamber.
** (799) Helisandra moves into the room and over to
the central moat, looking into the water. **
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Luck is nothing
more than fate,and neither one gives wisdom to any. Wisdom only comes from
trial and error Garret."
** (775) Ian Cromwell stops at the entryway into the
chamber,looking the entire area over. **
(799) Helisandra: "You have no Fate but
the Fate you make, Ian. Thus, there is a little more to fate than luck. Not
necessarily much more, but there is more."
(806) Garret: "Then I guess that just
makes me fated. So.. some divine entity must appreciate my wisdom."
(824) T'a K'shet: ((Back))
** (775) Ian Cromwell looks at Garret,then the
area,then back to Garret," It must be one of low wisdom to seek counsel
with you Garret." then smiles innocently. **
(806) Garret: "Give me some credit. I
am smarter than I choose to act, after all."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Then you have
misssed your calling,you should have been a bard,for you are a good
actor."

water, heading east toward the stone door. **

(806) Garret: "Not all bard's can at.
And I am quite serious.. thank you." :follows after Heli, eyeing the water
for more biting fish.
(806) Garret: (act even*)
** (775) Ian Cromwell walks over to the open
doorway,looking at the water that separates the two doors. **
** (799) Helisandra moves to the stone door, checking
it over. **
(763) DM: The water...assuming that it is in
fact water, appears to be crystal clear.
(763) DM: (and its an archway that leads to a
tunnel whose ceiling is about 10' high.)
** (799) Helisandra stands from the door and returns
to the moat, following it around to the north, trying to go completely around
the moat, seeing if there is ever anything in the water. **
** (799) Helisandra peers down the canal as she
passes the doorway. **
** (806) Garret reaches into his pocket for the steel
striker of his flint and steel. Curious of a strangely placed moat, he dips the
metal into the liquid. **
(799) Helisandra: (( *archway ))
(763) DM: The steel immediately dissolves.
(763) DM: A strong acidic odor emanates from the
moat, as the liquid churns and bubbles.
** (806) Garret lets the bit of metal go, frowning at
the situation more than the loss. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell looks at the island,takes a few
fast steps and leaps the moat,landing on the island. **

(775) Ian Cromwell: It was fun while it
lasted
(824) T'a K'shet: ((So, uh... no divine
intervention? Damn...))
(763) DM: ((you might have an out. I didn't keep
track of your items. so maybe. maybe not. I wasn't expecting this to happen
though.))
(824) T'a K'shet: ((Basht...? Baa-aasht?))
(814) Calehan: ((At least it wasn't lava, that
hurts even more))
** (799) Helisandra stops simply shaking her head and
let's her jaw drop open as Ian dissolves away. **
(824) T'a K'shet: ((You weren't expecting one
of us to jump into a pit of acid? You're rather ill-prepared.))
(814) Calehan: ((wasn't the wand of
resurrection for things like this, actually?))
(814) Calehan: "I wish he hadn't just done
that."
(799) Helisandra: "Ian... What was he
thinking?!?"
(799) Helisandra: "Wiat, what out the
Efretti? Think he might help with this?"
(814) Calehan: "It could be able to."
(799) Helisandra: "As annoying as he was,
I think we might still need him. Besides, I would not want his legacy to end
dying in acid in a lich's tomb." Heli takes out the ring of the Ifriti and
places it on her left hand.
** (814) Calehan reaches a hand into his pocket,
looking for something. **
(814) Calehan: "I can't remember
everything I put in this thing, but I might have..."
(763) DM: The ifrit appears in a column of fire
and ash, and bows before Helisandra.
(763) Abdul, of the City of Brass
and Flame: With sweetness and goodness, how may I
serve you, O my mistress?
(799) Helisandra: "I have a job for you,

(763) Abdul, of the City of Brass
and Flame: "And how might this insignificant
one serve you, O Light of the Morning whose radiance shines over us all?"
** (799) Helisandra rolls her eyes slightly to the
ifirt. "A human known as Ian Cromwell just fell into this acid and was
killed. I want you to return him to us, whole and in good health, with all
possessions he held upon entering the pool, standing here beside us." **
(763) Abdul, of the City of Brass and Flame: "This

** (799) Helisandra turns back to the irfit.
"Agreed." **
(872) Garret: "Before you do that
though.."
(872) Garret: :speaks to the efreet:
"You any good at bridge building?" :points to the acid moat:
(763) Abdul, of the City of Brass

(799) Helisandra: "You really want to use
him to do that, Garret?"
(872) Garret: "We want to get over the
acid.. which is how the holy buffon took the scorching dive. Or better yet..
could you just float over and retrieve that linen wrapped bundle and save us
the trouble?"
** (814) Calehan turns down that idea, though it
seems he's having some trouble speaking, "I can get over the moat easily,
myself." **
(824) T'a K'shet: "As can T'a."

offering smartly, "So.. you were saying something about wisdom..." **
(886) Lucinda (enter): 01:45
** (799) Helisandra removes the ifriti's ring,
placing it in her pocket. She instead places the cobra ring on her hand once
again. **
** (814) Calehan breaks down laughing as soon as the
Ifrit vanishes. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell stands there looking at the
rest of you,then glances back at the moat," Why did you bring me back
Helisandra,I would have stood at the side of Solnor for all of eternity,but I
suppose it is because we are not finished dealing with Acererak." **
(886) Lucinda (exit): 01:48
** (814) Calehan struggles to talk again, "I'm
really.. sorry.. Ian. That ifrit.. is just too much." **
(799) Helisandra: "What Calehan, don't
you think I am a sweet and wonderous zephyr, of great and magnificent?"
(872) Garret: "Yeah.. somehow I doubt
you would have been so much standing at Solnor's side... as sitting by as his
laughingstock, for being the paladin who tripped himself to death."
(799) Helisandra: "Sorry, I didn't think
that you would want to spend eternity with your remains, whatever little there
still was, in the lair of a lich. Now I know - next time you can stay
dead."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " I am grateful for
being brought back Helisandra,and for that I am in your debt."
** (799) Helisandra turns from Ian and heads west.
She approaches the archway and climbs onto
the wall (spider climb),
using the ability to enter the canal and pass through, avoiding the 'water' -
to see what is on the other side. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell looks over his armor,shield and
weapons,making sure he has everything. **
(814) Calehan: :In answer to Heli:"It's
not that I don't believe that, of course, but I doubt that ifrit would be so
pleasant if he wasn't indebted to you."
(814) Calehan: :And to Ian:"Honestly, I
appreciate your strength and forthrightness. Still, if one were to be brought
back, this is one of the worst places to be brought into. Yet, we all still
have something important to do here."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Yes I agree
Calehan,to end the riegn of Acererak."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Calehan,I still
have those six swords from the Daemon,they still need to be identified,is that
something you do?"
** (814) Calehan remembers the hangover he got last
time. **
(814) Calehan: "Yes, it is."
(814) Calehan: "It seems you also have the
wand you got from the temple as well."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Yes the one of
resurecting right."
(814) Calehan: "Exactly. It might be wise
for someone else to carry it."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " As you wish,whom
shall I give it too?"
(814) Calehan: "I didn't want to consider
it before. I think that I will have to carry it, since no one else here can get
it to work, if it's needed."

** (775) Ian Cromwell takes off his pack,opens it
up,speaks quietly,and pulls out the 18 inch rod and hands it to Calehan,"
I am not sure how many charges it has,the elders did not say." **
(814) Calehan: "That's something else I'd
rather not find out."
** (814) Calehan deposits the wand into a belt
pocket. **
(814) Calehan: "Now that the
unpleasantness is past, who wants to pay a visit to our mummy over there?"
** (814) Calehan indicates with one hand the wrapped
corpse across the moat from them. **
(872) Garret: "Can't wait."
(814) Calehan: "Such enthusiasm."

(891) DM Luzic (exit): 01:18
** (814) Calehan incants a spell giving Garret a pat
on the back as well as flight. **
(814) Calehan: "This should lighten you,
if not your spirits. It wouldn't be fair if I had all the fun."
(872) Garret: :floats into the air, and
bows: "Why thank you."
** (872) Garret floats over to the island, not
bothering to land, should some nasty trap's trigger wait on the floor.
Airborne, he inspects the linen wrapped figure. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell stands on the other side
looking at the wrapped corpse,waiting for Calehan and Garret to see what it is.
**
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Calehan can you
see if Helisandra is alright,it has been some time since she left and no word
from her."
** (814) Calehan carefully walks around the pool to
get a view through the open archway. **
** (872) Garret unsheathes his wakizashi, reaching
down to begin cutting the wrappings from the body carefully. **
(763) DM: She's on her way back.
** (799) Helisandra crawls out of the canal, along
the ceiling just as Calehan comes to look. **
(814) Calehan: "And here she is."
(799) Helisandra: "Here I am. Nothing
much down there - except for another shroud wrapped body in a pool of this
liquid, and an empty room."
(763) DM: Several items are revealed upon
cutting the linens open. Two platinum coins cover the corpse's eyes. A scepter
of ivory and fine silver filgree, topped by a diamond rests in the crook of the
corpse's right arm. A jeweled girdle can be seen at the corpse's waist. Lastly,
there is a star spinel held between its teeth.
(763) DM: Glyphs can be seen inscribed on the
scepter.
(872) Garret: "Hey heli.. you want to
take a look at this stuff before I start haphazardly snatching it off the
body?"
** (799) Helisandra hops off the wall, into the main
room. She spots Garret
hovering. "Sure, I see you picked up a trick." **
(872) Garret: "Thank Cale."
:floats back across the moat to retrieve the scout. "Personally, I preferr
my feet on the ground."
(814) Calehan: "Flying is nice. I figured
you'd find more use for it though."
(872) Garret: "Well.. it is
handy." :replies as he offers Heli a ride over the moat:
** (799) Helisandra grabs onto Garret, using her own
magic to stick to him ((spider
climb )) "Let's go." **
** (872) Garret flies her to the island. **
** (799) Helisandra directs Garret slightly lower
upon reaching the island, so that she can search for traps. **
whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+28]
-> [13,28] = (41)
** (872) Garret does his best to follow Flight
Commander Helisandra's orders. **
** (799) Helisandra directs Garret around the island,
and then ends her spell - to drop the few feet onto the island. **
** (775) Ian Cromwell walks over to the only door in
the area,drawing his flail as he nears the door. **
** (799) Helisandra more closely seaches the body
itself. **
(814) Calehan: "Helisandra already
inspected this door, I believe." :Out to the flight team: "What about
this door?"
whispering to TaliesinNYC, [1d20+28]
-> [17,28] = (45)
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Something tells
me that if you take anything off that corpse,one of three things will happen or
all three,one the island will sink into the acid,two the area will fill with
said acid and three something bad will step out of this door."
** (799) Helisandra looks up at Calehan. "It's
unlocked and ready to go." **
(814) Calehan: "You forgot to mention the
corpse reaching up and grabbing someone."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Remember the last
corpse we took something off of,the room closed itself,crushing any who would
have stayed."
(824) T'a K'shet: "It could be any number
of things. None are good."s
(763) DM: (fading)

(892) TOLAN (enter): 01:42
(799) Helisandra: "Well, it looks like
the scepter could be useful. The girdle looks expensive, but only the scepter I
would care about. Do we want it?"
(824) T'a K'shet: ((Ok))s
(892) TOLAN (exit): 01:43
(872) Garret: :shrugs: "It looks
important. Might as well."
(775) Ian Cromwell: " The girdle may be
useful as well,why else would it be there,is there anything else on the
body?"
(799) Helisandra: "Just a few coins -
like all the corpses."
(799) Helisandra: "Well, coins and the
gem."
(814) Calehan: "You mean a precious
stone?"
(775) Ian Cromwell: " Then take
everything,we can sort it out later as to which is important and which is
not."
(799) Helisandra: "Hmm, oh yeah - I guess
it is."
** (799) Helisandra looks to Garret "Then, you
better be ready to get me out of here." She stands as far from the corpse
as she can - just in case it does come to life. She then reaches out and
quickly grabs the star spinel first, moving her hand back as fast as she can..

(824) T'a K'shet: (Actually, if we're heading
off in ten mins anyway, I'm going to bow out now. It's my little brother's
birthday, so we're having a family board game. See y'all next week.))

(763) DM: ((thanks))
(763) DM: ((ah))
(763) DM: Helisandra vanishes.
(763) DM: (and on that note, we'll stop.)
(799) Helisandra: "I just hate staying in
one place..."
(872) Garret: seems about right
(814) Calehan: (I'm gonna have to get a leash
or something.)
