Elemental Movements

[Nephrite]

Moore laughs. "Sure."

[Anastasia]

A triplet of blows batters the door down. Ahead is a large entry room - a door leading outside, windows on it letting you see the grounds beyond. There's also a door right next to this door.

The room itself is decorated with fine stonework and design, though nothing truly exceptional on a glance.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for Spellcraft of 74, anything ambient in the air?

"This seems rather... barren for a place with classrooms." Moore says as he goes over to the door that isn't the door outside to check it.

[Anastasia]

"Any building is, sans those who give it life and spirit," Xandra says, "What we see is a stone coffin, awaiting the bodies it is due."

Nothing is in the air beyond magic you've already detected.

[Nephrite]

"Right, but I guess what I mean is... mm." Moore shakes his head as he tries the other door. "It's hard to explain."

[Anastasia]

"It's barren," Kaja says, "There's signs of life but no true life. Like it's a set piece on a play's stage."

The other door isn't locked.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and goes to open that door!

[Anastasia]

Perhaps predictably, it leads to stairs going down.

[Nephrite]

"Let's see if they have anything else in here at all." Moore says as he proceeds downward!!

[Anastasia]

You immediately notice these stairs go down and down - no sign of an immediate bottom. Just spiraling depths of stairs, deeper and deeper.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 74 on spellcraft, anything noteworthy or just super deep stairs???

[Anastasia]

Just super deep stairs.

[Nephrite]

"Do you all think there's any value in taking all the books they have in their library?" Moore asks the others. "We can investigate the underground after we level this entire place."

[Anastasia]

"Yes, but later," Cresiel says, "Let us smash the evil and then worry of such things."

Here Xandra frowns, "The death of knowledge is the death of hope, for in holy wisdom we all grow stronger. Even if the books there are the book of evil, in those others like us may find the way to save others."

Kaja glances back and forth and adds, "They're just books."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "In that case, let's go outside and see what awaits us. Actually, before we do that..."

Moore is going to spend a few turns doing the following:

Harmonize (30m), allows songs to be used as a movement action.

Redo all his bardic songs, then cast Refreshment on himself.

I figure it's been at least 10 minutes by now, so I'll just take to the time to turn them all back on since we aren't in any immediate danger.
