Jim was the last one to leave, part of the reason he was doing all this was to test himself. Something about the simplicity about a challenge of champions appealed to him, much of what was going on here was over his head but combat was something he knew well.
He looked back as the wall of fire sprung up again and shrugged, some day he would be back.
So we need to finish cleaning up the wizard down here, he's got hellish eyes and jumps around to different bodies, so hes not going to be easy to catch, over to the northeast on this level. I suggest protection from evil for everyone!!

"Yes, settling matters with Helleyes would be time well spent!" Terodius agrees and continues "through Mitra's grace, I have access to communal protection from evil, but it will only last a few minutes, divided among the subjects. We might be better served relying on warding from the Girding of Mitra..."
”If you want me to carry the items, I can do so, though I am not a devotee of Mitra, so I am not sure it would be proper,” responds Korbin.

"I believe I spotted the room we fought the trolls in during our previous explorations, so we could pick up where we left off after fighting the fire giant..."
Daniel looks at the group "What are these items you are referring to? If they are items of Mitra I would gladly wear them."
I have the amulet, it grants a continuous prayer affect centered on me.
There's a belt with circle of protection from evil extended radius.
Ring w/protection from evil.
Each has a lion of Mitra to aide in our quest, George has been with us a lot,he's attached to the ring. He's a paladin also. They do more combined, like a antimagic shell, but it's a lot of trouble too.
Their is a rumor of a mace that we haven't found yet.
(The Lion Belt) An actual relic, this is the belt worn by
Mitra when he walked the earth as a man. It radiates a
powerful Magic Circle against Evil and if combined with
the Amulet (Mitra’s Eye) it will form a globe of
invulnerability about the bearer as if cast by a 20th level
Wizard. The spell may be dispelled only by removing one of
the items from the bearer’s person or by depressing the
topaz in the lion mouth of the amulet which will negate the
globe of invulnerability only for 1d6 melee rounds.
If combined with the ring (Mitra’s favor), the magic circle
against evil spell will become a widened magic circle
against evil. Any Evil creature(s) within that radius will
suffer 1d8 points smite evil damage per round. When all
three artifacts are combined, the ring can fire a searing
light spells (CL 20th; at will). When all are combined, the
bearer make activate from the belt an undeath to death
spell, CL 20th (Will save DC 19 negates). All previously listed
attributes for each artifact are usable when all three are
combined. With the exception of the globe of
invulnerability all individual powers may be turned on and
off at will by the bearer. However, the bearer must be aware
of the existence of a given power to be able to “turn it off”, otherwise that power will function continuously. The
reverse is true of the undeath to death spell, which must be
known of to be used and may be used once a day.
Although the artifacts will not work for Evil types, mere
possession of all three will permanently change Alignment
of the possessor to Lawful Good in one month, one step a
week. Two artifacts will change Alignment in three months.
A Will DC 20 to resist is applicable. However, making the
save will only double the conversion time.
Joined with the belt is the spirit of one of the Lions of
Mitra (see The Lions of Mitra). The spirit is known as
Princess Jamalla the Wise, Holy of Holies, Mother of the
Masses, Benefactress of the Poor, and Mitra’s Handmaiden.
She appears as a vibrant and beautiful young fighting
woman with flowing masses of red/gold hair. She is quick to
accept any who are in the company of the wearer of the
belt. She lived 300 years ago. She was a Dervish convert to
Mithraism, who donated vast sums to the poor in Mitra’s
name . Eventually she became mother superior (Clr 9; gains
spell use at that level) of a convent of celibate female
Clerics. She was sickly, frail and ugly all her life and now
loves the position of Lion of Mitra.
It radiates a continuous protection from evil spell as if cast
by a 20th level Cleric. At the beginning of the game it is in
the possession of old Cornelius the Cleric of Mitra.
Joined with this ring is the spirit of a Lion of Mitra (see
The Lions of Mitra) named George, Prince of the High
Peaks and Champion of the Faith. He tends to be jovial and
is often given to singing benign tavern ditties. He was a
Paladin, and died heroically two centuries previously at the
hands of the Dervishes, whom he still has a disliking for.
(Something along the line of how Dwarves feel about
Goblins. Keep that in mind when playing him.) Unlike other
Mitraic artifacts where it seems the lion assigned to you
doesn’t seem to answer or is hard to summon, George is
quite the opposite in that he seems to never go away. He has
the ability to telepathically communicate to you from the
ring as a constant commune spell, constantly giving advice
and singing tunes loudly to irritate you when you seem not
to listen; he considers it in his own interest to protect you as
that means less time trying to save you. Think of him like an
overprotective father who likes to have fun with his
children. He won’t speak to anyone or give them his name.
"I'm sure you'll be fine bearer of these holy items, anyway shall we move on?" said Jim who started walking.
Daniel takes the item and says a prayer to Mitra of thanks and gratitude and wears the items. He then moves along with the group.
Terodius points north, "Well, that way was the dragon's lair, and I think we should stay away from that for now... But I don't believe we ever got behind this door here. No mi name, would you like to exercise your talents?"
"Agreed, I'm in no hurry to get burnt to a crisp!" muttered Jim.
No mi name does not detect any traps with Trap sense, but the door is locked.
Door locked... hmm. I see about that.

The door is arcane locked (dc20) and hold portal (+5) so he opens the door.
Anyone going in?
Daniel approaches the door and when it is unlocked he opens it slowly and takes a look inside.
The room appears to be empty.
With a prayer to Mitra, Terodius enables himself to see invisible objects , and then takes his own look in the room...

Just as soon as he stepped in, Jim instantly regrets it crying "Nope!"
Mystified by what is going on but seeing Jim react, Korbin casts Detect Magic to see if he can learn what magical effects are affecting his ally.
Jim is frightened. Korbin can tell spells are going off, but not the source especially in one round. No one else would necessarily notice anything yet.
What are Jim and Korbin going to do
Jim leaves the room and slams the door behind him, "Trust me, you don't want to go in there!"

What are Jim and Korbin going to do
No mi has greater arcane sight from his weapon, he should see any magic auras.
If Mi is activating that he can see the aura on Jim
"It's what I didn't that worries me!" replied Jim.
”I need the door back open so I can understand the arcane auras going on here. There seem to be spells affecting you as you walk through the door,” responds Korbin.
Auras? Let's see... He nearly giggles at his subtle pun.
”I need the door back open so I can understand the arcane auras going on here. There seem to be spells affecting you as you walk through the door,” responds Korbin.

"Sounds like some sort of fear magic to me", Terodius replies to Jim. He continues "Mitra's might cannot be overcome by such trickery. O faithful servant you have the lead, and I will follow you. No mi name, please re-open the door."
Daniel nods to Terodius "I will gladly go in first. You can tarry a moment if you like as well just so we both don't get hit with something at the same time."
The goblin looks from one biggun to the other as if fascinated by their kind... so big.
Mustering what courage may be attributed to him, he readies to follow them in.
Still more than a little scared, Jim said "After you..."
Daniel, a pit opens up under you when you enter the room. Make a DC 13 reflex to avoid falling in. Then all things get dark inside the room.

With dark vision, you will see that the pit is 60' deep. Nothing is invisible in the room. Making your save you take 4 points of negative energy as if from a spell.
With spells once again activating in the room, Korbin continues to concentrate on his Detect Magic to try and understand what is going on.
You detect three spells have gone off within the room and Terodius's square.
Daniel skids to a stop, his toes hanging over the pit. "Whoa!" Then the lights go out "What the heck!?!?!"
