The path ahead is...

[Anastasia]

Easy enough. The stairway goes down and ends in a pitch dark archway, nothing visible beyond it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa searches around for hidden switches, doors, and traps!

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Anastasia]

Nothing that you see here. The door is firmly locked, however.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa taps it with the Skeleton Key!

[Anastasia]

CL check.

CL Check:

The doors pop ajar after a moment.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa heads in!

Okay, time for some DM humble pie. Back a few posts you had this line:

Easy enough. The stairway goes down and ends in a pitch dark archway, nothing visible beyond it.

And then in a post or two later I started talking about a door that wasn't there before. I accidentally skipped a section here - it's simply me being RL distracted because of all I've had going on this past weekend with my dog. So you get a freebie here, I'm not going to retcon you back over my error several posts ago. Feel free to imagine the horrible and impossible trap you got skipped past.

You head into the door and through. Here is another chasm, plunging down into the ground, massive and long, the other side - a dead end wall - 70ft away or so.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa considers and looks around for a rock or debris to float over the chasm.

[Anastasia]

There's nothing too useful nearby, unfortunately.
