Noting Jackun examine the door to the east, Caitlyn decided to take a close look herself.
[Dice=Perception]1d20+12
Assuming there was nothing untoward she attempted to open it.
Caitlyn found the door unremarkable except for its bright golden color. When she opened it she felt a brief tingle across her flesh.
Beyond she found a wide hall lit by dim red globes. A large stone dwarf stood at its center, legs planted square on the floor and hands pressed against the ceiling, muscles tensed. Another set of golden doors stood closed beyond him.
Jakun will once more cast Detect Magic and examine the hall.
Caitlyn positively glowered, "It. Tingled... Magic!"
Her eyes narrowed as she saw the red globes and the stone dwarf. This room was pretty creepy, what for example if that wasn't just a statue? Tensly she asked the others, "Does this look safe?"
[b]Wooooo!! Tingles?! Yay!!! Tingles!! I wanna feel the tingles![b]
Do we recognize the statues>
The statue looks to depict no one in particular; it's simply a dwarf.
Jakun detected magic about the glowing globes. Nothing lingered about the statue.
"Let us proceed after Thistle..."
Jakun heads down the Hall and inspects the doors and the walls to ensure that nothing is being overlooked.
Thistlwtorp giggles and bounces darts to the smiling door "Let's try this one first. The statue is smiling when we're here, that must mean it wants us here. So that could mean something fun and interesting is on the other side!"

The kender dances forward, grinning brightly as he passes the door. Just as he passes the dwarven statue, slowing to give it a good looking over, the red globes explode in lurid flames, filling the chamber. Thistletorp was distracted by the interesting shape of the dwarf's boots and bent to give it a closer look just as the flames raced across the room, less than an inch above his topknot. Had he not bent down at that moment, he would surely now have a boiled head. The flames then faded to nothing, taking the red glow with them as they ebbed.
Once he was done enjoying that spectacle, Thistle found that the far doors opened onto a hall which proceeded only a few feet before ending in a blank wall.
Jakun's eyes go wide, "Well done Thistle! Is that wall the end or perhaps a false wall?"

"Anything else interesting within Thistle?"
"Anything else interesting within Thistle?"
After a thorough search, Thistle was quite sure that it was the boring kind of corridor. That only left the door that the statue frowned upon.
Jakun headed back in that direction, "Well, time to open this door as well".
Jakun will wait until everyone is in the room and then open the door in case something does happen, he wants the full force present.
Noting Jackun about to open the door, Caitlyn pushes in front, "Probably better if I go first" she grinned. She paused breifly to examine the door and listen before opening it.
Does anyone else need healing? the Revered Daughter asks.
Does anyone else need healing? the Revered Daughter asks.
Caitlyn, finding the door quite and apparently safe, opened it and found a room identical to the previous: a dwarf statue in the middle, glowing red orbs along the walls, and doors on the opposite end.
Jakun's divination showed the room fairly swimming in strong transmutation, which extended across its whole width and length. In addition, faint illusion extended in a column from just beside the door up to the ceiling.
Jakun will inform the group of such, "Thistle, time for your magic".

She waits patiently. Praying to the Platinum Dragon.
Thistletorp trotted into the room and turned for where Jakun saw the magic, only for his topknot to precede him in hurling to the ceiling. He struck cold stone headlong with a painful crack.
He remained there suspended for only a heartbeat before falling again and striking the hard stone floor.
Battered, bruised, Thistletorp felt himself begin to fall upwards again and contorted his small body in ways that ought not be possible and raised some question about just how his spine was meant to be remotely solid. He landed on his feet back outside the door, beaming.
"Well, that's not good".
The Revered Daughter will ask Paladine to heal the kender's wounds
CLW
What sort of magic is this? she inquires.
"A gravity trap. Powerful magic... at the moment I cannot dispel it, Revered Daughter did you pray for such a spell today?"
Jakun can just see doors at the opposite end of the hall. The statue blocks most of the view, but they're there.
Jakun swears, "We'll have to go this way..."
Caitlyn eyed the room Thistletorp had tried with intense suspicion, exactly the kind of dangerous magic she feared.
Glancing at Jackun she replied, "Very well."
Taking point she ranged a short way ahead to see if the coast was clear.
She nods.
The Revered Daughter kneels down in front of the area. She grasps her medallion of faith and begins to pray, silently at first and then her voice rises in prayer and extasy as she is in communion with her god.
Paladine, Father of Goodness and Valiant Warrior, Come forth, your unworthy servant invokes your name and your power. Dispel the darkness of this place and destroy this trap which confounds us and nature. May the Light of Your love, and the Glory of your ever loving and kind face shine upon us and aide us in this task. Thall all will know that you have returned and have come to defend and protect your people.
Dispel Check
Jakun nods at his allies and smiles as they give him time to "recharge".
Level 3 - Fly
Level 4 - Stoneskin
Jakun casts his Flight spell once more and enters the room...
Jakun flew forward, warded and ready. He felt the gravity reverse seize him, but his magic was enough to counter it and keep him aloft...though his blood did rush to his head until he righted himself.
At the far end of the room, he reaches the door and checks to see if it is locked, if not he will open it hoping that might end the deadly trap of the room.

Jakun arrived at the far door and opened it with ease. Beyond it lay a dark corridor turning to the southeast.

Caitlyn felt she might grind her teeth to glass as she watched the minotaur fly into the trap, he was pulled one way then another by it's magic. Still Jackun's art prevailed and he made it to the other side where there was a corridor stretching off into the darkness.
Caitlyn called out, "What can you see Jackun? And how do the rest of us get across?"
