Attempt 1, floor 1: First try! Good luck! Don't die too fast

[Corwin]

Corwin drops the log on the ground, and heals himself, pointing at the water. "Bad man dead. No work evil."

[Carthrat]

"The scrolls! Well.. I suppose we didn't need them," grunts Tchaener, walking over to the white ball and picking it up.

[Anastasia]

Corwin notes something odd - did he just see something shiny in the river?

The gem is slightly warm in Tchanaer's hand. Knowledge fills his mind - a Gem of Identification. Touch it to any one magical item and you will know it as well as it's creator.

[Carthrat]

Tchaener pockets the gem, walking over to the mace on the ground! He picks it up, and experimentally touches the gem to the mace...

[Corwin]

Corwin walks to the edge of the river, and points inside at the spot he saw something. "Shiny!" he exclaims.

[Anastasia]

In a flash of white the gem shatters into brilliant white dust! But the knowledge fills Tscanaer's mind! An enchanted mace indeed!

Tsc knows it as a Mace+1, +2 vs good.

[Anastasia]

It's right in the center of the river, a little close to the shadowed left side. But Corwin is sure he say something shiny there, even if he can't see it now. Really shiny!

[Carthrat]

Tchaener ties the mace to his belt, eyeing the paladin with a little wariness. "Aye," he says, glancing in the lake, and wincing at the jellyfish a bit. "Guess I'll go down and get it, then!"

He steadies himself, then hops into the lake, trying to get this shiny thing...

[Dracos]

"Go get it then," Aesop absently said, finishing collecting his daggers and checking the robe as well as looking for other doors.

[Corwin]

Corwin looks at the water, winces, and then looks down at the log dumbly. He picks it up again, and shoves it in the direction of Tchaener, leaving it close enough that the dwarf would only need to move a few steps to hold on to it. "Me help," the paladin states categorically, not leaving solid ground.

[Anastasia]

OW!

Those jellyfish sting like the abyss! (2 damage.) Tscanaer is welted up speedily, as he looks around! You don't see anything shiny, just a now ruined scroll a bit away and the darkness to the left part of the river. Odd.

[Carthrat]

"Bah, there's nothin' here!" growls Tchaener. "Yer a fool!" He clambers back up the log...

[Anastasia]

As he does, Tscanaer catches a glimpse of something shiny in the very corner of his left eye.

[Corwin]

"No shiny?" Corwin asks, his face featuring an expression of complete stupidity.

[Carthrat]

"Wait, wait- now I'm seein' it!" he says, jumping back in, and wading across to where he saw the shiny thing!
