Now the D and A and the M and the N and the A and the T and the I-O-N Lose your face Lose your name And get fitted for a suit of flames. (GoldenH)' [21:04] I found my thriiiiiilllll, on blueberry hill. [21:05] Take me hoooooumee mautain roooaaads! [21:06] It's a long wayyy, to Tipperary... [21:06] You take the high road and I'll take the low road. [21:06] Besides, I thought it was "Cherry Hill"... [21:06] ...... [21:06] Ow. [21:07] Allright. Game start! [21:07] we opened the door of doom ! [21:07] As we all know, we had discovered the mysterious switches and opened the door of doom..... [21:08] and now... beginning! [21:08] Jynaru roars out. "ON THE COUNT OF THREE~!" [21:08] Cicada slightly moaning; "One!" [21:08] Thanos "TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" [21:08] Jynaru slams the lever to the other position with a foot and nocks an arrow as he breathes out the final number. "THREEEE~!" [21:09] with a huge clunk and an electric whine the soulsteel door slowly begins to raise..... and the palace reverberates with Cicada's scream [21:09] * Jynaru grits his teeth and waits. [21:10] with a golden glow, a staff lies inside a pedestal of glass.... and eight burning swords surround it, held by women of stone, and upon the throne is a golden crown, upon the head of the one who is worthy to sit upon the throne in death..... [21:10] * Vanal shifts the weight of his Lightning Shield and mentally says a prayer [21:11] Nothing moves.... [21:11] "Seems quiet..." [21:11] and dark! [21:11] "Vanal? Get the stick." [21:12] the swords, the crown, the staff and your animas is the only thing giving off light [21:12] "Alone ? Bullshit. It's too easy. [21:12] " [21:12] "Just get the fucking stick. I'm not encased in armor." [21:12] * Vanal sighs and craefully sets foreard, sheild and sword at the ready [21:13] "If I die, I'm gonna haunt you for all eternity, you know." [21:13] "Yeah, yeah. I'll stick you in an arrow and shoot Anathema with you. It'll be great." [21:14] * Vanal CAUTIOUSLY moves forward, eyes flickign about for any signs of threat or motion, and he feet gliding him forward with paracticed, weary steps [21:14] "Fuck you !" [21:14] "Let's get out of here first. Then we can find a nice bed, satin sheets, some rose petals, do not disturb sign on the door." [21:15] You step throug the circle of statues, their lithe stone bodies covered only by thin, stone squares and triangles, carved with ancient words. Their swords glow, giving light to the room [21:15] burning silently. [21:15] You can feel the heat as you stand in front of the staff, enclosed in a glass box... [21:16] * Vanal looks at the glass case, and geenlty pokes it with his sword [21:16] "Your dreams, my nightmares, buddy." [21:16] the glass rings silently as your sword rubs against it. [21:17] "Think it's worth a smash and grab, or try to deal with the pedestal some other way?" [21:17] "Let me poke around first. I'm not smashing shit until I know what I'm dealing with." [21:18] * Vanal examines the box, seekign traps, triplines, deadfalls, the whole shebang [21:18] roll perception + larceny, +1 stunt. [21:18] * Jynaru takes a moment to compare glowing green sword of doom to the swords the women are wielding. [21:18] !ex 2 [21:18] Vanal (2) 7, 1, Successes : 1 [21:19] it doesn't seem to be trapped, Vanal. But that in itself is suspicious.... [21:19] int + lore [21:19] "My brain is about as devious and a Yeddim when it comes to booby-traps..." [21:19] *as a [21:19] * Rallan [rallan4@idxpen01-68.idx.com.au] has left IRC [21:19] !ex 6 [21:19] Vanal (6) 6, 3, 6, 3, 6, 10, Successes : 2 [21:20] there's probably something going on, but you don't know what. [21:20] "I don't like this. This thign doesn't SEEM trapped, but well...I'd have this thing rigged to blow 10 ways from Thursday." [21:20] Tabius clunks down the stairs [21:21] "Maybe the stick in itself is hazardous." [21:21] "Dunno, but something wiggy's going on with this, dunno what. where's Goldenrod when you need him ?" [21:21] * Jynaru looks over to Tabius. "Tabius? Get the stick out of there." [21:21] "OK." [21:21] "speak of the devil..." [21:22] * Tabius marches up to the glass case and takes a look for bad nasty stuff, noting the swords of flame. [21:22] The flames are open flames, though no source can be seen. [21:23] * Tabius taps on the glass with his sword, keeping his eyes and ears open for the smallest of taletells. [21:24] The glass rings in the silence, the sound of your breathing seeming almost cloustrophobic. [21:25] * Tabius looks to see if the glass dome can be moved or if it has to be broken. [21:25] "Think it's safe for us for a little breaking and snatching ?" [21:26] "10 minutes, guys. I don't think we can kill much more time than that on this." [21:26] "Almost there, my plan is to have you push the glass top over with your sword, then I fling the rod to Jynaru and we run like hell [21:26] The glass is a rectangular solid, suspended over the staff. It doesn't seem to be attached in any way, but when you try to push it gently, it doesn't move. [21:27] "Then again, the box doesn't seem to want to move. [21:27] "Running like hell is good." [21:27] "...once again, I wish we had firedust,: [21:28] "I wish I had a nice mercenary company to do this shit fo us. Your point?" [21:28] "We all want what we can't have ?" [21:28] Tabius' minions are holding up the door! [21:29] * Tabius tries to find a method of having the box be moved, a switch, lever, mystical pattern of hand movement/. [21:29] * Jynaru snarls. [21:30] "Come on, we've got big nasty upstairs forming, we don't have time for this..." [21:30] The room is well decorated, though you can't see well. Mystic runes are carved in the walls, and this was obviously once a reception room... [21:30] * Vanal adjusts his grip on his blade [21:30] "Smash it ?" [21:30] It is actually quite large, appropriate for a solar god-king's throne room. [21:31] * Tabius looks at the crown on the dead looking guy, also peaks with Occult sight at the dead guy and crown to see if something harsh could come from them [21:31] "Tabius? You're the expert on ancient traps and such." [21:32] "I am an expert in Lore, Jynaru, not traps, but I am working on it." [21:32] "Lore IS traps, in my experience. Always some interesting bit of knolwedge that leads you into trouble."

It is a relic of the first age, but unless you're willing to experiment with it, you cannot learn more... it doesn't seem to be being used right now though a persistant effect is active.... [21:35] * Tabius walks about a bit attempting to watch the essence paths to notice what effect the crown is having. [21:35] "come on, let's hustle here. I wanna evac ASAP." [21:35] the crowns mystical effects are mysterious, and well guided... but you see a panel on the wall... it's not quite the same as the others.... [21:35] "Evacuationg while dead is troublesome Jyn [21:36] * Tabius walks over to the panel and takes a closer examination. [21:37] With a blurring speed, the firey swords move!
