You rush out of the "secret" door into the entry room where you fought the ghouls and found the vials. The blasted down doors of the room weren't likely to prove enough to secure the area from the lumbering foul horror behind you. The blob moved very slowly - you could practically walk backwards and stay away from it - but something told you that it would implacably follow you.
Let's close that door to slow it down some more.
"Agreed Eva, lets try and see if we can manage to close this secret door" - Trihedron nods, keeping an eye on the creature, but putting her effort into moving the door - "Come on people, give us a hand" - she urges the others.
Tamis grasps the door, using all of her strength to help move the thing.
Abrosh moves out of the way, and lets those without charred burned arms do the moving and lifting.
The door closes fairly easily, but it seems that there is no latch to hold it closed.
"Is there anything that looks like a wedge or brace we could use?"
Abrosh looks around trying to find a way to block the door
Can we use the same wedge, but put it on the other side?
Trihedron looks around the room, trying to find something that can be salvaged, and used to wedge the door shut.
Numerous pieces of wood and stone chips are scattered around the room.
Wesley moves ahead.
"We need to keep ahead of the blob!"
Right sorry been up for 20 hours
"Grab some wood and jam the skinny sides under the door. Pound them with a hammer. I have a hammer if you need one."
Wesley is too small to help.
Tamis grabs for the hammer, and then tries to create a jam with the wood littered around the room
Trihedron aids her sister in jamming the door as best as she can.
Abrosh stands aside and let's those with the strength do the door jamming.
You pound wedges of wood and chips of stone into the tiny seams of the stone door and pray to whatever gods you hold dear that it will hold. After a few moments, the door seems to shudder with a large impact, but the wedges hold. Again the door takes a mighty blow, but again the wedges hold. This goes on for a full minute before the creature on the other side of the door appears to give up, and the hallway grows quiet once more.
Eva breathes a sign of relief
"That could of been bad, good thing we went with closing and bracing the door.
Let's hope that if an other adventures who enter this room get the hint."
A shame there is not a way to destroy such a thing. I wonder if anyone out front has encountered that before?
Wesley takes chalk and hands it to Eva.
"Mark a warning to others on the door!"
"I got this"
Toilet monster made of waste minor magic weapons, hole water, fire, and embalming fluid could not defeat it. BE-WHERE
BoB
"how does that sound"
BoB gives a small grin
Wesley moves on.
Fire was not used on it, so that would need to be removed, along with the embalming fluid as it was not used to it's full potential.
I used fire and it just fizzled out.
"Regardless of the message, they should get the point. Now lets get out of here before it finds a way around that door." Tamis sternly mentions before heading back towards the hallway and the southern path.
Abrosh looks at everyone
Is anyone hurt?
"ok Evangline if you say so but Abroshqualmie did use Fire"
Toilet monster made of waste minor magic weapons, hole water, and fire could not defeat it. BE-WHERE
BoB
Trihedron nods approvingly of the bard's warning - "Good job - now let us move out of this place - there are still unexplored paths" - she plods along after her sister, stopping by Abroshqualmie - "I am unhurt master gnome, thank you for your concern" - she nods, then moves away.
Having blocked the dung creature in its room (for now), and wedged the door shut with wood and chips of stone, you made your way down the southern passage. It ran straight southwards for more than a hundred feet before opening into either a natural cavern, or a very roughly cut passage.
Tamis was just about to move ahead to scout out the new passage when she stopped. Something about the wall to her right wasn't right.
"Can someone disarm that trap?"
i cannot but I can heal the wounds it makes. abrosh offers less than helpfully
He cast resistance on himself
"Watch out sis, something about this doesn't feel right." Tamis mentions while closely gazing at the wall trying to determine what she sensed that was off about it.
Tamis carefully goes about the process of trying to disable the trap mechanism.

"Good thing you found it before it when off and caused injuries."
"Appears to be a secret door here. The last one didn't exactly lead to a treasure... do we want to try this one?" Tamis asks while inspecting the door looking for a release or opening mechanism.
"Yes sister - lets go ahead" - Trihedron supports her sister, standing right behind her, bow poised to strike at any possible threat.
Abrosh recasts Resistance on himself and stands at the ready.
"Every surprise has been unpleasant. Maybe this will be the exception. "
