Tre nods at Sorin's idea, his hands make a maze of patterns before his arcane words end and his finger points at the letter in front of him.
Frustrated with the letter being there, Barret starts punching the part of the wall with his initial. "Enough of this."
"Enough of this, this doesn't get us closer to the eradication of the evil here. We must clear the way for Verisonna to take control of the prison and all this would be at an end. Let us continue to remove the spirits that confront her, don't let their wills win. Lead on Barret." say Tre, frustrated at the death magic that is being used against them.
"What do you mean it went away?" The Rogue pauses, "I still a 'D' right there in blood!"
Merian frowns. "It's not a D, it's an M..." she trails off. "Oh, blessed above, we're all seeing our own initials, aren't we." She steps forward, murmuring a prayer, and touches the spot where the M is.
Seeing her spell had no effect, Merian tightens her grip on her blade and hammers the wall with it.
"It's still there!" Barret growls.
"Perhaps if we just clean the walls with holy water?" The Rogue asks, "I mean or if there's some sort of cleansing of the evil in this room that any of you can do?"
"I tried bringing the spirits of the living against them Dillan. It made my letter disappear, but it has shown up again." Temporarily ignoring the suggestion to smash the walls, Sorin summons the forces of life again and throws them against his letter.
"Come, let us get away from here... this is just a trap set by the spirits of evil ... if we remove the evil, we should remove this unnerving thing. Let us remove the spirit that controls this evil, surely it will release your names from its grasp." says Tre as he beckons the rest of the group back out of the chamber, back the way they had come.
"...We're being lured into breaking down this wall," Merian murmurs, taking a step back.
"Maybe it is for the best. This place needs to be leveled." Barret shakes his head.
"Then break the wall if you must, but lets be ready for whatever evil hides behind it." grimaces Tre as he finds the wands he has and readies to use one, should he need to.
"Just be ready to jump if it comes down around your ears." Sorin maintains a watchful distance, wary of the possibility of a trap now that Merian has pointed it out.
Merian exchanges a look with the rest of the group. "Whatever's behind this either wants us to come through it or is waiting for us to let us out. Either way, it's probably the Splatter Man's handiwork, and we're here to stop him. Let's get ready, and then do it."
"I won't stop any of you from beating down the wall."
Tre moves back into the passageway (the one they entered by) watching his friends as they start to beat the wall down. He shakes his head, "No good will come of it, but best they deal with it. It will be interesting to see how this thing works."
Watching what happens in front of him, he casts a spell to see what magic is present and could be responsible for his friends irrational behavior.
As Tre is only able to see the magical auras protecting his friends, he still finds it difficult to understand the strange forces at play in this place. "Watch out!" shouts Tre as masonry from the building starts to fall. From his position in the door, he continues, "Get out of there or you'll have the whole prison falling down on our heads."
These strange haunts, I must learn more, they are so difficult to find a weakness. thinks Tre as he sees his friends struggle with the debris falling around them. He tries one more time to send positive energy into the evil haunt, pointing at the wall in front of Barret he hopes to weaken the malevolent force.
+1 if it's a trap=23
Sorin tries to leap back from the crashing wall, but slips on the floor and it catches him fully as it collapses.
"That'll teach those spirits to mess with us." Barrets says while dusting off his hands.. and everything else covered with debris.
Tre coughs as the dust settles and covers his clothes with a fine grey/brown powder. "Great, now are you all OK, do you need a hand out of there?" He peers from the open in which he stood. "Let's just get through this mess and find the ghosts and spirits of those evil prisoners." He blows the dust off his sleeves, shakes his head, but the dust seems to have stuck to him and his clothes. He grumbles at the mess he now finds himself in, "I only hope Kendra has enough hot water to cleanse these things" under his breathe he continues, "otherwise I suppose I shall have to make use of the great arcane."
Merian tried to raise her shield over her head, but can't get it up in time to keep the debris away. The bruises and cuts stagger her, but she blinks away the dust and points her blade toward the gap in the wall.
As the dust settles and Dillan finds himself in the hall next to Tre, "Well that was close. Do you suppose that ended the haunt?"
"Who knows Dillan, if we come back and its not here, then it probably is gone. If we remove the evil and let Verisonna take command of the prison, I'm sure all these haunts will be gone." says Tre thoughtfully. Looking at the bruised and battered friends he asks, "Barret, Merian, are you OK to continue"
"Give me a moment and I will see about providing a little healing to each of us." Sorin concentrates for a moment and then passes his hands over himself, Merian and Barret.
Merian nods her appreciation for Sorin's healing.
"I think we defeated it...shall we press in further?"
"Let's go."
Sorin looks at the rubble to make sure it is safe to progress.
Assuming it looks safe, he will join the others moving past the ruined area.
