"Lead on Mister Z. Let us see what is behind the not-quite-so hidden door."
Assuming we arrive at the rotating door without incident.
Love looks at the door. "Hmmm looks simple enough."
Assuming no traps and I can see how to open the door. "Like so..."
Open door.

As the group makes their way back over, the hidden door opens easily to just light pressure, rolling to the side and then sliding in to reveal a long, dark room.
On the opposite wall of the hidden door stand a large pair of bronze doors with no obviously handle and an odd set of faces carved into them.
Elaborate paintings cover the walls in faded, abstract patterns. A large lantern hangs from an iron chain depending from the center of the ceiling.

"Well this is looking better!"
Zeldin looks to "Love" as "Love" says, "Well this is looking better!" wondering what he sees that he is missing. Muttering to himself, suddenly a ball of blueish light appears in in his palm and he holds it high. His eagle eyes cast about the room, looking for anything that seems out of place.
If Zeldin sees anything, he freely shares it and if he does not he asks "Love", Do you think this floor might be trapped too?

"Don't know about the floor. I do not like the look of that lamp though. See how the sides are all open? That is unusual. Things are generaly unusual for a reason." "Give me a shout if anything moves, I'll check the floor."
Love moves into the room with caution and care. He slowly begins to move down the left hand side of the room. If you listen carefully he is whistling 'Every good girl loves a sailor' under his breath.

The room doesn't seem to have any lingering stench of goblinoids, nor does it show any of the refuse they would often leave behind.
Love makes his way slowly around the room, watching for any signs of traps and seeing none. As he approaches near the far door, it becomes clear that there doesn't appear to be any sort of handle to operate them. Once he is within a few steps however, the iron-wrought mouths begin to move and speak.
Down below mother moon
About the lands, a sacred gloom
Reaching across the midnight sky
Knowing the truths that make you cry
Night imbued with his very essence
Eternal light forbids his presence
Secret questions you dare to ask
Shadows are his faithful mask
Looks like we have a chatty door, what do you suppose it means?
Love looks at Larayn. Looks at the door. "No... it couldn't be." He starts to chuckle, and after a moment is laughing.
"Wizards and Dragons! Don't you see? This place was built by Wizards and Dragons!" Seeing the blank looks of his companions Love wipes away his mirthful tears and explains.
"Both the pointy hat and the pointy tooth set think they are brilliant. To be fair many of them are but neither have any common sence and neither can pass up a chance to remind you how clever they are."
"I should have guessed after that statue and the falling floor. Clever and complicated and powerful yet with a strain of stupid. Wizards and Dragons. They forget that other people can think. They think that while they wrestle with the great questions the rest of us wander in ...'
Karth remains standing in the doorway, listening to the goings on and keeping an eye out for any sudden movements. He starts at the sudden riddle and can't help but nod sagely as Love remarks on the nature of the device.
At the sound of the voice Zeldin drops low and sparks flicker from his fingers. As he realizes that the "danger" is a riddle he stands again, and blushes.
"That pointy pair have also earned the right to a little arrogance..." Zeldin says in his absent way.
So Love, if we answer the chatty door, do you think it will give us a way forward or kill us all. I just want to know if there is somewhere I should stand in case I have to ask the goddess to heal you ;)
*bump?*
Did the statement under the spoiler open the door/Sweep us into the firey furnace with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?
I cannot click your link at work... but if I recall correctly those three did okay right? I mean God visited them in the fire so...

The link is louie armstrong singing the song of the same name. It is from '51 movie with a young mickey rooney. But yeah, judging from the song they did ok. We, well perhaps not so much.
Wondering about Tarlane though.....
Just sent bossman an e-mail.
I will keep you posted if i get a response.
Fingers crossed.
Anyone know tarlane in RL?
Just got an e-mail from beloved leader the mail was sent to all of us so check accounts.
Looks like the delve failed a health and saftey inspection and has been closed by the local council.
Pity.
Still I have hope of trying again when Tarlane feels better.
Until then
Ernest 'love' Lowfield.
