Trust had played the better half of their certainty with eachother,and now what could or should be done was left as an open first marker to a decision to be made,Alliyah could obviously be the answer to this puzzle,but inside her faith in a magic or some sign of what to be done was all that tallied the interest to make the issue moot.
"well I don't see how there's no answer to getting across this,we must use some of our hidden talents-or what's worse go back and look for pieces of rafters that we can lay across,and then we can give a try at getting that blasphemous door open"she simplified the ordeal with what could or would eventually have to be done.
"the bridge is gone,there should be one,I think you're right stormrider-we must find a way across if not for the talent of our wizard,then some scraps of lumber"Kiazo agreed.
"I have thought on this and there is one way which I believe could make the door open,and when that is done we will be able to use another spell,or some piece of this dungeon"Chealsoroy opted with an idea-and set to work.
Soon a ray of ice was blasted against the metal,streining it's composure and sending an ice plate across it's entirety-the hope was that- this to be met with a quake type claiment could fluster the very foundation of the element escue problem,and break it open.So with a pouring of liquid from a potion and a few fine words of incantation,the spellwork made alive the powers of ground flustering waves-the area shook for a few sconds,and finally the door fell foreward,much like a bridge-entailing a lip that allowed enough extra landing room,and distance closure for each to take a running jump across.The strange mists were no help,but after the elf passed through them with no damage,they each did so and Alliyah retook the lead once again.
Walking on for several minutes the hall way finally found itself let into a new chamber-the steps leading from the brim set into the 20 ft dip,to the floor,and had zigging patterns on them-an anouncement that perhaps they had reached a new magityne area-like the first when the demoness was summoned.As light scattered from the torches the room revealed that it was blanketed in soot across the ground and most of the walls-the roof however-just within viewing range-was comprised of purple and blue crystals of a natural form planted into a quaurtzy and slate surface.The frightening glamour of the energy that seemed to rip forth from the roof was easily the sign that this place was used for great sorcery-however their interest at the time were to find the steps and make to the amoury for the bracelets.
"there-that's probably nearly another level just off those steps alone,the 5th section is probably beyond this room,and the armoury and our goal-quite good shall we"Chealsoroy spoke as they looked to see if there were any particluar passages or doors.
Xeina found a split sided metal door-with blemishes of blood that was supplanted into an alcove that had strange looking upside down torchholders on iether side.The desitre to touch one of the holders was met with a quick tug,and she discovered that as she moved it gave way to a rotational leverage-that made a scrapping sound-a switch of some sort-but the doors in front of her weren't effected-thinking to be thurough she then twisted the other and that time a clang sounded in pretrail to the scream of Alliyah-what had been done,Xeina rushed into the room,the alcove only being 6 ft inwards-and saw that she had sprung a trap.
As the tiles opened by the cleric had been unnoticed before-they now were the opening for the slurry of wisping mithral eels of some kind.Each four feet in length,and floating in air some arcane way-they had small mouths that could possibly deal posion,but more importantly each shimmered in a changing hue from light rose pink-into a violet that turned into underdefined ultraviolet purple-and when that happened-as the group took their weapons and were not yet within range-the eels lett a flurry of spells into the room.The gound shook,and black mist flew about-and scatters of small floating unreal pellets of some attacking force were sent in flusters-though not careening directly to any one member of the party.
Though the ground shock was not enough to make them fall-they were staggered into the black flusters,which began to make them unable to breathe and tightened a strein about their entire bodies-this was a powerfull smoke that could leave them open to direct attack,and they'd have been done for-or at least in bad shape,if Xiena hadn't been able to cast a similar spell to the first in Tehreciene,the smoke flusters preened and squalered,and soon changed colour to a gunky grey and fell to the floor in mushy form. Kiazo lashed out and took hold of one,of which there were 5,and smashed it repeatedly into the ground,then as going in for the kill with the axe-was suddenly met with a fearsome burning that forced him to let go-and the eel,squirmed into flight and nipped his shoulder-just getting past the armour-but that was it for the creature-taking a stiffled fein the orc cut it in half-but realized that he had been striken with poisen.The ground shook again as the others were staying a fight of mostly defense,anable to strike at these nimble trouble causers-and consequentially-Alliyah was fallen to the ground first-but regained to one knee quickly and sliced a fine sword swash on one diving at her,thinking she was disabled.The orc however was not so lucky-the piosen caused a slowing of movement-and when he hit the floor,the gunky refuse of the blackness,still had an effect to divy-making Kiazo begin to shutter-and as the material leaked through the poures on the exposed flesh-rapidly breathing was getting to be near impossible,and the ability to cry for help was beyond the doable.Once again Xiena obliged a command of spellwork-and sending a ray of fine cleanly chinting light-Kizao was cured of the damage infusings of each matter-and quickly stood and jumped aside from another attack.Chealsoroy streined and swifted his hands calling forth the summons to a spell-that entailing the entire perimeter of the room,caused a golden flicker –that then began to move innward-certain to flash over any being in the room,including the enemy.Fortunatley that was taken into account-and as the gold mirage like fluster struck the eels,they screemed in pain,and dashed about wildy,unable to control their movements.Alliyah was the first to make quick work of the desperate foes-and slashed the first she had wounded killing it,and the three remaining were now centered in on by the elf,Alliyah,and Kiazo-and swifting angered slashes-they dropped them one by one-each rendering swishes and cutting on the same one-each terror of magi-bonded beast,crying forth in dying dithers,and each member of the party unthwarted by this creature trap-finally standing proud looking upon the corpses of their slaughtered foes.
Further unhindered examining of the room,revealed 1 true doorway-a locked wooden door,and searching the trap box that the eels were unleashed from produced another ring,this one having a black swirl about a gold band.Kiazo tried to pry open the alcove doors with brute strength,but there was no budging-some trick was yet to be discovered as to how to open the metal slates.
"hmmm,yes this is most likely a ring of elements-bound with the swirl of invocation to the unmaterial-when transducted to the area of the ring-barer the summoned element will appear-perhaps I should see if it works-"Xiena offered,and tried on the ring and said the word for element in Untzuhfeient.
The air before her whirrled alive in a brakened blue fray-then she took advantage of knowledge about this type of item and called forth a type of element-as a sound of sssing fuses cracked the air-an ice vortex,spinning crazily and looking none the less dangerous was made alive-she looked about and spottingt the eel corpses the flurry ravaged into them-sending them scuttering in the flay-an elemental summons ring with the flavour for a deathening attack.
By this time,Chealsoroy was done ice fusing the alcove doors,and called over Kiazo was able to crack them to frozen pieces-and the party decided that was the best route to take first-more likely that a proteceted area may contain an armoury.
