The Heart of Darkness... [Main Game Thread]

[Squirrellord]

Bryce will indeed share the information about the trap on the box, as well as the solution to bypass it.

"I don't see any keys on these walls. Perhaps it is a message that can be deciphered through these frescoes."

[TristenC]

[anyone who wants to open the chest can safely do so with the new information]

[BishGada]

"Bryce, will you do us the honor and open the chest carefully? Maybe we should spread some cloth underneath since the lead is on the chest bottom and not the top."

[counterkid]

Tabbi and Zafron will hold postion.

[TristenC]

[So... anyone doing anything aside from waiting for Bryce?]

[Nocturno]

Van is considering leaving the room since it wasn't fully explored.

But he will back away 10' from Bryce checking the chest.

[BishGada]

Watching Van Galan says with a smile and wink, "Hmm... I guess you know your brothers' work..." and gestures to the others to step back. "I still wonder why the chest opens from its bottom. Maybe we should turn it upside down first. Can you check if there is mechanism on the wall holding it or on the floor underneath it one more time before opening it?"

[TristenC]

[The chest is partly sunken into the wall, and appears not designed to be removed.]

[TristenC]

[OK, it has been almost 3 weeks since SQL posted, and everyone else seems to be waiting on Bryce]

Bryce checks the chest again, just to be certain there are no undiscovered traps. He presses the latch with the hilt of a dagger, effectively bypassing the known poison-needle. The side of the box flops down, revealing the inside of the container... which appears empty.

[Squirrellord]

OOC - Sorry about that, no excuses really. I should have found the time to post something.

[BishGada]

"Check inside. Maybe you should throw something in first." Galan suggests.

==================================================
(OOC: SQL - No problem. It happens.

What was that about the opposite wall?)

[Squirrellord]

Bryce will flip the dagger in his hand gripping it by the pommel and gently probe the interior of the box, swishing the blade through the interior of the box to ensure appearances match reality.

[TristenC]

[Sorry for the delay]

Bryce prods the box with his dagger and feels something hard inside that is invisible. After feeling around more, it seems to be a lever of some kind


====
Still unexplored, and anyone can check things out

-Archway of mists with glowing stones at bottom of each side of the frame and one at the top
-Green devil face with open mouth of darkness
-Fresco of the 'Tormetor'

[BishGada]

"Hmm... we have a lot to explore, but first let figure what this lever does."

===============================================
(OOc: Should be added to the collection of known last sentences."

[OOC:] , we should keep a list of Famous/Infamous last words
should i take this to mean Galan is pulling the lever?
