Mickey taps the wall again.
"You alright?"
He calls through the now wall.
Tatsuo walks around to join the rest of the group before they enter the room. Not wanting them to get trapped, he stands with Mickey, holding the door open.
He jumps when the image disappears. "What the.... So much for holding the door open," he grumbles. He aids Mickey in attempting to communicate with the party, hoping that they're just on the other side of the wall and not in some other dimension.
Conner enters the hallway with Felix and goes to the table as he passes through the door there is a sudden pulse of force (like an invisible energy barrier was just penetrated) you receive no physical or mental damage of any kind....
You detect no evil and you notice that Felix is not with you.
your detect magic indicates some sort of teleportation or possibly a planar shift type effect.
looking back at the door, you see Mickey tapping at the opening looking confused. From your view the door is still open and you can see the room you came from.
Ahead of you on the table lies a a large tome. the book is closed and it radiates strong evocation magic.
Felix heads back out through the open door and with a flash of light he is in the room with Mickey and the rest
@Mickey and tat: you are tapping at the wall where the door was and suddenly there is a quick flash of light and felix walks out of the space where the door once was.
a quick check and you see that the door is still only an image upon a stone wall.
Conner's words go unanswered, it seems apparent they cannot hear you.
The coin you toss seems to hit some invisible barrier and bounces back to you.
Where's Conner? Felix asks
opening the book there is no explosion, This ponderous book details suggestions for persuading and inspiring others, but entwined within the words is a powerful magical effect.
as you check out the book you notice out of the corner of your eye, Felix outside in the main room with Mickey an the others.
Mickey steps back when people walk through walls.
"He went in with you?"
He cocks his head to the side, seemingly one to 'speak' by action as much as (or more than) voice.
as you peruse the tome you reflect on things you have learned, then it dawns on you, unattended objects cannot pass through but living can as well as what they are carrying.
"What happened in there? Any idea why the door suddenly turned?"
No, it looked fine to me when I was in there. I could see out, you couldn't see in? And Conner come in with me? Felix turns to look at the door he just came out of confused.
"Yes."
He answers both questions at once.
He crosses his arms and studies the wall.
"Hasn't come out yet."
I found a ring on the table. That I couldn't see from the outside Felix says holding it up. It's a ring of sustenance. Maybe it's different for anybody who enters?
As you investigate the door Conner exits in a flash of light.
Once Conner leaves the door is once again a doorway leading to a short hall and room (just like before anyone entered).
Mickey sidesteps in time for Conner to not bump into him as he walks out.
"Maybe something for everyone in there?"
It's certainly impressive. I got a ring of Sustenance. Tatsuo and Mickey you guys should have a go as well like Conner and I did.
Mickey looks to Tatsuo and places his left hand in a fast on top of his right hand's palm as the symbol for Rock Paper Scissors.
If he responds in suit Mickey throws Paper.
"Aiko desho!"
Mickey sniffs a bit when he speaks gibberish, and throws again.
He throws scissors, losing the second round.
He gestures with a hand towards the door.
Tatsuo enters with Sora, casting light since he no longer has his sphere.
Tatsuo and Sora enter together. as they pass through the doorway the same effect as was described by the others occurs. but Sora and tat are not separated, they remain together.
the hallway opens to a small bare room with a single table, no chairs. upon the table sits a small stone statue of an owl. nothing else is in the room.
as Tat passes through the door the opening becomes solid stone wall once more.
Mickey nods.
Felix waves inside and shouts to Tatsuo. Hey Tatsuo. How many fingers am I holding up? he holds up three fingers.
Tatsuo calls back to the group. "Do we think there's more in here other than the single item that seems to show up, one per person?"
you look back and can see the others as though the door was still there and open, however you hear nothing.
you can tell they are speaking but no sound is heard except your own.
The statue radiates a strong aura of transmutation magic but that is all you can tell.
Noticing that he can't hear any response from the group, Tatsuo grabs the statue and walks back outside. "So, I could still see all of you from inside, and it looked like you were talking, but I couldn't hear anything. Did you hear my question while inside? All I found was this owl statue with some kind of transmutation magic on it. Maybe related to the owl's wisdom spell? But that's just a guess in the dark; I have no idea."
"Didn't hear anything."
Mickey walks to the door. Curious as to what would happen, he leaves a foot of rope in the hallway and the rest on the chamber side of the door after he enters with Reeves on his shoulder.
He then simply enters and sees what the mystery table had for him.
the statue is a figurine of wondrous power - serpentine Owl
Mickey passes through the doorway. the rope he lays out is left piled up in the hallway after passing through the door. (you will have to grab it on your way out when you leave otherwise you may loose it forever.)
you go down the hallway to a room with a table. sitting on the table is a set of leather bracers.
Felix starts back as Tatsuo comes out. How many fingers did I have up?
Mickey picks up the bracers and heads out the door, picking his rope up on the way and replacing it in his backpack.
"Got these."
He holds them up before slipping them on. Reeves hops onto his forearm and holds the buckles open while Mickey straps the leather shells onto his forearms.
"Where to?"
"Oh, is that why you were holding up 3 fingers? And I'm fine with selling something that summons giant owls; I can summon things myself if I want. Shall we continue on exploring the rest of this place?"
Three fingers, right. That door is downright wondrous. Don't forget to take your orb when we head to the next unexplored room.
It's pretty spectacular magic who knows what it can or can't do? If you want to go in again go ahead.
