Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[VySaika]

Ranmaru calls back, "If you can, please retrieve the other items under the walkway and meet us here. I'm afraid that we humans cannot enter that heat any longer!"

[Anastasia]

"Are you kiiiddding! It feeeelssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssso gooooood!" Calling back, the mephit nonethless says, "But okaaaaaay."

[VySaika]

Ranmaru chuckles and looks back to the others, "Well, I hope he doesn't get distracted on his way back. He does seem to enjoy that roasting furnace."

Seeing no option but to wait for thier little freind, Ranmaru backs away from the heat a bit more and sits down to relax a bit while he waits. 

[Anastasia]

Soon enough, the mephit returns with another two scrolls! He puts them down in front of Ranmaru!

[VySaika]

Ramaru stands back up, taking the scrolls, "Ah, many thanks."

He then simply hands them over to Euphemia, "Here you are."

[Corwin]

Euphemia looks at the scrolls!

[Anastasia]

A scroll of Cure Light Wounds and a scroll of Burning Hands.

[Corwin]

"Well." Euphemia puts the scrolls away. "How about we brave the southern approach, now?"

[Ebiris]

"Are there any doors left back there that we haven't checked?" Flasheart wonders, ambling back South towards the searing heat to take a look over the factory - assuming he can get close without injury.

[Corwin]

"Only if we'd missed any hidden ones," Euphemia responds. "However, what I referred to, Lord Flasheart, is the choice we were presented with originally. Perhaps we can make a new one? Barring that, there is still that one door with a ladder beyond it that our flying friend came through. We haven't been there yet, have we?"

[VySaika]

"Ladder?" Ranmaru shakes his head, "I suppose that must have been while I was with lords Varian and Shadow. I'm somewhat surprised we haven't run into them at all, thinking on it."

[Anastasia]

"It's up to you guuuuys," Your flying friend meanwhile says.

You guys haven't been down the ladder you greased/met the mephit at. Going back to anything beyond the factory has obvious issues of not being cooked like a tomato. Sacchin is currently rubbing her club and muttering about that club that club that club.

[Ebiris]

"It's too hot to go on," Flasheart opines after heading a little way to the South and promptly retreating. "I believe the only path left is the one the little fellow came through - which I recall we put some unpleasant slime on the ladder. But as it's the only unexplored avenue we have no choice."

Therefore Flasheart bravely heads back to the Eastern path.

[Corwin]

Since their host doesn't magically send them elsewhere, Euphemia is comfortable tagging along to their meeting place with the mephit. And once there, it would be child's play to have Sacchin try and absorb the grease once more with a dirty rag from the ladder.

[Anastasia]

"Waaaait," The mephit hisses, "You meaaaan goooing baaaack thaaaat waaaay? Not suuuch a good ideaaaa!"
