"They are nearby, that is all i know." Brax responds, "I do not have the power to know where."

Searos seems mildly annoyed at this and hops off the table and moves to the lock taking out his trusty picks and kneels down to check the lock. He first checks for traps and, if finding none, opens up that lock.

Check Traps: 100
Open Locks: 38

Searos pokes around the lock, the metal levers moving slowly as he presses the small implements inside, hearing a resounding click the door releases, opening slightly.

Before he can turn around to congratulate himself, a suddenly an ear splitting shriek washes over him, it emanates around the room, causing everyone to grasp their ears to block out the noise.

(Whole group needs to make a Save Vs Spell to Avoid being deafened for 1d4=2 rounds.)

Brax clutches her ears tightly as the noise washes over her, keeping down she grunts loudly and tries to maintain focus. (Save Vs Spell: 1d20=20 Pass!)

(Covering Vee for this one, because of Luna's absence).

Standing near the door, the noise hits Vee suddenly, clutching her ears she screams as the noise feels like it is permeating her brain. "What is that noise!!" She shouts far too loudly....

(Save Vs Spell 1d20=5 Fail)

Kim, hands over ears, tries to shut out the noise and concentrate, but fails.

1d20=2

Gunter drops to one knee as the screaming sound seems to cut right through him.

1d20 -- 9 (Fail)

Searos drops his precious lockpicks, falls to the ground, covering his ears with his hands and curls into a ball whimpering.

1d20 -- 13 (Fail)

(Just Amon and Echo to go then. Yes the site is VERY slow. Sorry about that, Cole (The Owner) is looking to fix it as soon as possible, it appears to be a combination of an issue with the ISP and a possible attack on the main site Code. This site is safe.)

Both Amon and Dogmeat are deafened for two rounds.

=============

Amon makes a saving throw vs spell (1d20+1): 4, fail.
Dogmeat makes a saving throw vs spell (1d20): 11, fail.

(OOC: Horizon has fallen ill again, so asked me to roll for her.)

Echo rolls a saving throw vs spell (1d20+1): 17, pass.

The noise continues for at least a minute, causing all but Echo and Brax to fall to their knees in pain.

The noise fills the room, alerting anyone to the presence of the group, and removing any element of surprise the party may have had.

As the noise dies down Echo hears a scratching sound from behind the door, the sound of metal clanking slowly.

"Did you hear that noise?" Brax asks, reaching for the mace at her belt, "Is everyone ok?"

"I heard something, other than that awful noise just now," Echo says. She eyes the door as if waiting for something to jump out at them at any second.

Kim takes the hands down, ears still ringing from that terrible noise, shaking the head. "That was a powerful alarm."

Standing next to Echo, Kim waits for the things to come.

Searos stays on the ground for a moment, looking for his lock picks. Finally he stands up and looks at everybody.

"Noise? What noise? You people are crazy. Unless you mean that scream from the gaping maws of the hells. Because yes, I heard that noise. Loud and clear."

(Ok I give you that Muffin Man, deaf for two rounds is barely any time at all, not 2 minutes, so yes you can all hear again. I made a choice, I'll stick with it)

"It came from behind the door, I believe." Brax murmurs, "Does any one need aid?" She asks, checking Kim first, then the others.

(Did I send a message?)

"I think I'm still a little singed from that trap I set off upstairs..."
