Your spell flickers and fails.
Arwen slowly stands up from where he landed and slowly but surely draws out his weapons ready to brace for another impact
oozuala looks over the wire, puts her crossbow back, and draws a flask of alkali.
"Think that's important, Arthur?"
"Very. We remove it, they turn off. It'll be tough, though. Let me look at it a sec."
"Couldn't i just melt it?"
"That might explode it and kill us all. Let me see here."
He draws one of his cure moderate potions and flicks some of it at the cluster.
Then snakes his hand in and pulls out the temporarily shorted cluster, moving it as far away from its position as possible.
"Shut the box! Shut the box!"
Arthur's gambit pays off. The potion, infused with magic, splashes against the electric cord. Suddenly, there's a -zzzt- sound, and the cable goes dark - though those with Detect Magic active can see that it's still emitting powerful magic. You hear a chorus of high-pitched voices from the darkness crying No! and Why!? as the darkness recedes.
Finally, you can all see again in the room. The hallway is relatively unremarkable now - you see the threshold where the stone turns to wood on the interior, and there are pastoral farmland pasture scenes on paintings on the walls.
The room continues inward for another dozen feet beyond the wood threshold and there's a pair of doors on the far end of the room. One of them is ajar, and appears to have stairs leading upward directly behind it.
The other one has been knocked off its hinges, blown inward by some tremendous force. You see what appears to be a kitchen area beyond. There's no trace of the creatures that attacked Arwen.
Bah i'll live. Nice work there Arthur. Anyone else but me hurt?
Caln walks to Arwen and casts a spell on him...
Tks Caln i feel much better
"Aw. I wanted to see what they were."
He looks over the chord.
"I could probably do something /pretty/ freakin cool with this, if it comes back out with us. Oozula, do you mind?"
He gestures to her extra dimensional backpack with it.
Please be quick if you can Arthur we don't want the defenders to have all the time in the world to get ready to assault us.
Blinking in the returned light Suny looks around.
Please be quick if you can Arthur we don't want the defenders to have all the time in the world to get ready to assault us.
"I say we push on."
Suny nods at Caln's words though she awaits the development of what people have found/seen.
Right then. Arwen will lead on further into the castle
Working on it right now but struggling with the creativity needed at the moment. I apologize :(
