The Archon was at the rear, just outside the room. It was...disconcerting to not have full use of his powers but he was unafraid. He had existed for 1000 years and faced the possibility of true oblivion more than a few times.
Andrea manages to emerge unscathed, except for her hair of course, which is now burnt all the way off.
Well..bald is beautiful, right?
Only Andrea's magic helps Euphemia not be too terribly burned.
"I can make you a rapid growth tonic, Andrea, later...Though be warned that it effects fingernails, too...,"
The witch sputters.
Andrea will keep watch until the others recover from being dazzled.
If only we had a way to leave a trap in case the wizard return. Unfortunately I have nothing prepared. Shall we explore the other, rooms?
Andrea lets Frank lap up another CLW potion if he needs one.

You find a well appointed guestroom but there is little else of interest.
You find the same with this room.
Euphemia chirps something to Frank whilst detecting magic. He chirps back as if in protest before being poked in the nose.
I still think you're being a bit overcareful, dear mistress, and that is not a common assessment. he huffs in hedgehog, scurrying off of Euphemia and making his way towards Andrea. He stands at her feet breathing as hedgehogs do, and behaves as if waiting for permission.
Andrea kneels and lets Frank hop onto her hand. Need to tuck yourself away from the nasty spells?
There is nothing magical about the door.
Frank nods, snorting, and scrambles onto Andrea's proffered hand without hesitation.
Wondering what just to do with Frank, Andrea scratches his chin and opens her haversack, allowing the hedgehog to hop onto a wig that Andrea had stashed in there but will probably need again soon.
The sheets of paper look suitable for bedding with a little work.
His trust of Andrea mirroring his master's, the headhog scurries into the space without a comment owing to the wig.
So your putting Frank in the handy haversack for safety?
You understand that a creature can only live up to 10 minutes, it's probably not the best situation for Frank.
Andrea decides that it is not the best situation for Frank and...puts him in her spell component pouch. Don't mind the myrrh. If things look like they are going to be dangerous, I will set you down and you scamper to Euphemia or an out of the way spot.
Frank nestles in next to the catnip.
The door is locked but Gerard manages to pick the it without incident. He opens the door slowly as Daniel itches to move inside.
This bedchamber bears the marks of heavy use, its furniture battered and nicked by weapons play and its walls marred by errant blows. A pair of armor stands is located beside the fur-covered bed, one empty and the other bearing a suit of blackened studded leather armor. A huge, heavy footlocker rests beside the bed.
Gerard shrugs... Stiglor, or whatever his name was? We collected a key, neh?
Yes right here, catch.
The key fits perfectly into the heavy footlocker. Stiglor’s accumulated treasure in the form of assorted gems worth a total of 5,780 gp along with
half a dozen dried human heads kept as trophies from past foes. Folded neatly at the bottom of the footlocker is Stiglor’s spare suit of +1 shadow studded leather armor.
Daniel looks over the room with Disdain.
It saddens me greatly when such a skilled warrior has to fall for the cause of evil. He could have stood for something better. Would have made a fine scout captain. I know I have been blessed with a better upbringing than most. Food for example was not something I wanted for, but there are so many shining examples of those who rise above horrible beginnings. What was it that kept him on his trail until we met in combat? Could he ever have found redemption?
"He and the mother and their disgusting collections."
Euphemia gags a little.
Hmm..Quite. Andrea muses as she packs away some things.
The door opens to landing looking over the edge you see it descends deeply beyond anyone's vision. There are steps leading downward toward another landing.
Down or continue exploring this floor?
There is more here, and if it's left this high it's important. We need to find everything that could help. Don't be lazy, always check for secret doors.
This place is a gods be damned labyrinth.
Checking the NE door.
There is that door we passed by when we first entered this room.
edit:
Andrea peers fiercely around the room.
Gerard looks to the archon. Azreal, can you teleport now?
The archon closes his eyes and tries to teleport behind Gerard....
Azreal does actually teleport behind Gerard.
Gerard you find a bathroom in Stigor's room that NW door.
Andrea located a secret door and spy hole near where Orisn was standing. It is a simple hideout location, there is is a heavy and light cross bow with bolts in the room.
Spending a few more minutes thoroughly searching you find a second secret door on the east wall that is a hallway back out to guards sleeping quarters. Gerard's comments about this being a labyrinth is quite true.
Let us head back into the guardroom. and then down the east hallway that we bypassed when we first entered this place.. Andrea will head that way with the others if they agree.
Edit: Ponders [b]There is also the door here.
