Recent passage, no. This chamber, from the brain room, is notably clean for its surfaces. Almost meticulously so. There is, to be sure, some travel, to and fro. There is no settled dust, as would be expected for a day's quiet. There are small wet drippings that have been smeared, as if by a robe dragging across it.
The drippings lead into this room, from this room towards the next chamber, described earlier, as well as through the unopened door in the current room.
"Someone has passed through here, both up that hallway..." Tynan gestures toward the north, "and trhough this door. I can't determine which was more recent though."

Ascaria moves up to provide plenty of light on the situation (double move), and uses the Blessings to gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves.
He looks to Tynan, "So what's the plan?"
The party gathers in the underground study, debating which direction to proceed. The stairway into the next large room, or the closed door currently facing you in the study. Eri GMPC delays, waiting for instructions, should any be forthcoming.
Round 5, Init 10
"Since we're here already, I'll check the door."
Tynan quickly listens at the door, and studies it for any traps. Should it be trapped, he tries to disable it, and unlocks it if it is locked.
HP:48/52
Saves:Fort 8, Ref 12, Will 5
The door in the study is untrapped, and unlocked, though closed. Nothing can be heard through it.
Tynan opens the door and looks inside, the blue glow from Sol's shield illuminating the space beyond.
Round 5
Solrisa stays back, ready to (lunge, if necessary) at any foes that come within reach, letting Tynan take the point with Mort.
Solrisa's torchglow falls across the doorway, illuminating a small hallway that enters a smaller chamber. The chamber has in its center a pool of water, perfectly calm surface, glowing with its own faint blue light. Beyond this pool room lies yet another hallway, aglow in a reflective green light beyond. This helps all in the party to see a balcony at the end of this second hallway.
Solrisa smiles as her pretty blue light shines and helps the party. She waits to go in whichever direction is bestest.

”I suggest we head down the other passage. This leads to a balcony, and I’d rather not have to climb down.” he shrugs and readies an action to follow a party member down the other hallway.
Blessings are for movement this round so Ascaria can try to keep up.
This place has it's own weird sort of beauty. I must remember to draw it.

Mortimer looks down the other passage, trying to see if anything in the Museum room is actually moving. In the center of this large chamber is a grotesque ...
"You like the looks of that?" he queries pointing down the Museum passage. "I'm not sure I do," he says, trying not to remember Smenk's note about unkillable zombies. After looking dubiously down the pool passage, he adds "' want to see what the balcony overlooks? Maybe it's a vehicle in and of itself, or maybe it's nothing at all..."
He shakes his head. "Then again, that pool somewhat reminicient of the one just out the Ebola Triad's lairs. What were they again, Sol?"
Apparently resigned, he shrugs and abruptly heads down toward the pool.
Moving like this never gets old.
"Then again, that pool somewhat reminicient of the one just out the Ebola Triad's lairs. What were they again, Sol?"
Solrisa shrugs, trying to remember, saddened that she cannot.
"Oh...gimme a minute! I'll think of it!" Solrisa says cheerily, trying to think (and remember) really hard.
Eri will use the extend spell option to cast gravity bow at twice the duration. He will get to keep up.
From the study, the museum-like room offers nothing of further interest. The items seem of the morbid nature, but nothing makes noise, nothing moves...
With Tynan opening the door, Mortimer steps down the corridor, to the glowing pool. Within its waters, a direct view of Telakin's throne room, and table apparatus. The room is currently devoid of any activity.
Beyond the pool and its sights, the second hallway enjoys the illumination of a greenish glow from beyond the balcony.

Ascaria waits to see what Mort discovers at the balcony before moving.
The balcony overlooks a cathedral-like chamber, circular like so many of the previous rooms. The height of the room is roughly 80'. From the balcony to the floor below, 45'. Opposite the entry hall below is a tall octagonal column of jet-black stone, glowing with green symbols running up one of its faces. A deep pool of placid green liquid stands before the column, bathing the entire chamber in an otherworldly light. Two octopins drag across the floor, mindlessly at first. They quickly understand your presence above, and begin moving in your direction, slowly at first.
Floating 30' above the pool is a humanoid form with strange rubbery purple flesh, dressed in black robes, wielding a staff of red hot metal. Its head is hairless and bulbous, with four long tentacles where its mouth should be. Inside your head you hear an alien voice, as it looks up at you.
"You dare enter my sanctum! Fool. I shall finish what Telakin could not. I will feast upon your mind, slowly. I will let you hold the part of your brain that allows you to understand self-awareness, until the last moment. It will make your terror taste all the more delightful."

"I got to hand it to you, most people wouldn't be open to that sort of experience when it comes to my mind. At least you really let a guy know where he stands. Speaking of which," Mortimer adds, gesturing at the balcony upon which he literally stands, and the rest of the room. "what is this supposed to be? Some kind of sadistic opera house? Before we get on with this -- can there at least be more musicians and fewer Octopins?"
Mortimer's bellowing voice bursts forth from the balcony back to the Library.

Ascaria moves up a little to be with the group, and wonders how they’re all going to get down from the balcony to fight the evil Mort’s shouting about in the next room. I mean, he has a way of course, but what of the others - are they as well prepared?
He expects an about face, and charge down the other hall, and braces for it, though his eyes linger on the pool at his side. Cool!
As the party closes, several of you can finally see what Mortimer initially did upon gaining vantage at the balcony.
The balcony overlooks a cathedral-like chamber, circular like so many of the previous rooms. The height of the room is roughly 80'. From the balcony to the floor below, 45'. Opposite the entry hall below is a tall octagonal column of jet-black stone, glowing with green symbols running up one of its faces. A deep pool of placid green liquid stands before the column, bathing the entire chamber in an otherworldly light. Two octopins drag across the floor, mindlessly at first. They quickly understand your presence above, and begin moving in your direction, slowly at first.
Floating 40' above the pool is a humanoid form with strange rubbery purple flesh, dressed in black robes, wielding a staff of red hot metal. Its head is hairless and bulbous, with four long tentacles where its mouth should be.
"Speaking of which, what is this supposed to be? Some kind of sadistic opera house? Before we get on with this -- can there at least be more musicians and fewer Octopins?"
Inside your head you hear a familiar voice(earlier in the complex), as it looks across at you.
"More octopins, you say? Of course I can accommodate you."
The voice grows quiet in your heads, as if stepping away for a moment, before returning.
Something slurpy begins making a noise, coming from the direction of the study, behind you.
"There we are. Now, come down, and let's end this."
Zyrxog floats lazily in the air, while his octopins animate with startling speed. The one closest to the wall hits it, and climbs to the same height as the balcony itself. The second octopin travels across the floor, to arrive at the foot of the wall, 45' beneath the balcony.
Round 7
Waiting to see what happens but sure something is happening, Solrisa empowers up her long sword. It glows with divine energy.
From the study, a wet sliding begins, easily drawing your attention to a third, much larger octopin. It's covered in greenish fluid, pointing to its previous slumber within the vat. It gains its bearings, its central eye gazing to and fro, before settling on the corridor before it. It starts to slowly move forward...
Round 7, Init 7+
"Sol! Be ready! Something is approaching from behind us!"
Tynan readies his swords, and moves between Ascaria and the room's entrance. He once again feels Ascaria's magic enhancing his reflexes.

Solrisa brings her sword to glow, waiting diligently. Tynan takes a more central position, readying for the large octopin. Mortimer avoids the slowing gaze of his own octopin, dropping a tanglefoot bag onto the critter below.
It maintains its movement, although slowed, free from attachment to the floor.
Ascaria renews Cayden's fevered blessing, while Eri slips a spell in sneakily, before launching two arrows at the large octopin, both hitting!
Zyrxog pushes off from the wall, bringing him to the center of the chamber, where he can see more appropriately down the hall of the viewing pool. It is from this new vantage that he offer up a bolt of lightning. It manages to strike Mortimer, Eri, and Ascaria.
The lightning bolt cast at you was Empowered.
The gooed octopin slowly climbs towards Mortimer, while the ungooed octopin at the same height as the balcony comes to join the giant, lashing out with a single claw. Sadly, Cayden's gift manages to protect him.
Solrisa waits to see what the big octoblob does.
Big octoblob moves forward, of course. Its large mass begins to squeeze through the much narrower corridor, bringing it to a slower movement than it would like, likely.
It forces its way into the viewing pool room, its clawed tentacles bracing themselves against the inner walls, pulling itself into view.
Its gaze touches you all, except Mortimer, who has closed his eyes to further gaze attacks.

Dodging the brunt of the lightning bolt, Mortimer also manages to duck under the Octopin's claw just the nick of time! He quaffs the potion of Cat's Grace.
Round 8, init 7+
Feeling his body slowing under the gaze of the tentacled beast, Tynan calls upon the powers of Ascaria's spell to counteract the effects somewhat. He quickly looks for a weak spot in its sinuous limbs, steps forward, and stabs at the foe.

Solrisa deflects the creature's slowing gaze, flaying the creature's rubbery hide twice, revealing layers of muscle and oddly-colored fatty stores. Tynan joins her, albeit more slowly, and moves into a suitable position for subsequent strikes. Mortimer imbibes and bobs, bobs and imbibes. Ascaria soaks damage, then heals a good chunk of it from the others. Eri exchanges fireball for lightning bolt.
Zyrxog twists casually as Eri's fire reaches him, the archer's magic apparently not affecting him in the slightest.
This individual is a Mind Flayer. A Lawful Evil Aberration known for its desire to dominate and/or consume all minds like so much chattel. It feasts on lesser minds for sustenance. 1 question for every 5 points above 26...
The humanoid has some Resist Energy(Fire) in place, already.
"Ah, yes. The fire mage decides to use his fire. How surprising. Hide like a coward, and watch while I singe your oaf."
Zyrxog and his minions commence to savage the party in whatever way suits them the best.
Zyrxog himself targets the giant, pointing his finger, and emitting a pair of fiery rays.
Zyrxog has cast Scorching Ray.
The two smaller octopins assail Mortimer at the balcony. One of them needs to get a little closer before striking, so only strikes once.
At the rear, Solrisa faces her own singular attacker. It easily latches onto each of the maiden's thighs, cutting deeply, before pulling her legs apart.
Those in the viewing pool room enjoy the large octopin's Slowing Gaze.

Round 9, Init 11-
As Sol's arms are rent like a Calistrian's backside, she calls to the Dragon for healing.
Even as her knees buckle, she finds the strength to stand and fight on, staring directly into the eyes of the large octoblob. Will vs. DC 18.
She fights on.

Against all odds, what should have silenced the maiden, should have brought her to the floor in separate pieces, does not occur.
Instead, Solrisa performs a Rending all her own. A Dragon's Rend. Thrice she stabs, each blow hacking deeply into the large octopin. It collapses under the supreme punishment, its claws reflexively releasing the maiden from its grasp.

Eri listens to the voices in his head, thinks and says, ”OK. How’s this?”

"WHAT?!" demands Mortimer, his voice dropping in pitch as the slower Octopin taps him on the shoulder. "Aaah, YOU!" he bellows at it, taking a step and swinging.
