Now where am I?! (Moore)

[Anastasia]

This room is a dead end - just an old room with walls of water that sag inward. Lying in this room is a gilded treasure chest made of wood and gold.

[Nephrite]

Moore is immediately suspicious of this and looks around for both magical and nonmagical traps.

He's casting Find Traps.

[Anastasia]

The chest is not trapped.

However, it radiates overwhelming magic and will not open unless whatever is producing the magic is neutralized.

[Nephrite]

So that means either A) Try to dispel it (it sounds like this would be rather hard) or B) turn off the magic stone that's keeping it locked?

[Anastasia]

Presumably.

Ball's in your court here.

[Nephrite]

"This one is warded with very strong spells." Moore announces. "We'll come back to it." He says as he turns around to go back and to his right -- to head east, now!

[Anastasia]

Listen check.

East is a room with a raised floor, a hill almost reaching the ceiling in the center. It's otherwise square with a passage at each of the cardinal points. Atop the hill are three lines of stone and a sphere.

[Nephrite]

"...Huh. Curiouser and curiouser." He says as he continues to pursue things in an orderly manner and heads right -- south!

[Anastasia]

Another small, unremarkable room - with a window! You can see the waterfalls outside from here. It's a breath-taking view, which almost overshadows the square-pentagon-sphere stones in the middle of the floor.

[Nephrite]

Moore makes a note of this. "I think it best we fully explore before we touch any of the stones that will change the layout." Moore says as he goes back again, turning right -- to now go east again.

[Anastasia]

This tunnel curves up a bit, narrow and tight, until you come out of it. Here are passages to the north, south and east, as well as west. Above the northern passage is a square hexagon.

You hear a rumbling sound coming from the east.

[Nephrite]

"This is a lot more complicated than the last floor." Moore observes and gestures at the hexagon. "I'm not sure we should interact with any of those just yet, just in case." But can they just keep meandering like this? Either way, he turns to his right -- south again and heads there.

[Anastasia]

"Things are getting more complicated," Ilsenine agrees.

This room is small, barely larger than a closet. Within it lies a heap of gold and platinum coins, simply sitting there.
