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

[Anastasia]

Roll a d20

Things of note found:

Amid all the books, one glows with purple letters on the front. While you can't read them, they make you feel eerie.

An iron key atop the bookshelf.

A flask full of sweet smelling brandy, leather. It makes you feel better when you sniff it.

A few old, poilshed golden coins, if money means anything in this hell.


[/i]

[Dracos]

Aesop took the gold and the key and the flask, listening at the other door carefully.

[15:54] <Dracos> roll 1d20 for something
[15:54] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d20 for something and gets 3." [1d20=3]

[Anastasia]

Detect noises check

[Dracos]

[15:56] <Dracos> roll 1d100 versus 20 detect noises.  Possibly modded by anything not hard to hear? *Hopefully*
[15:56] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 versus 20 detect noises. Possibly modded by anything not hard to hear? *Hopefully* and gets 19." [1d100=19]
[15:56] <Dracos> wow
[15:56] * Dracos is confused to see a pass on that ski

[Anastasia]

You can hear faint windy sounds.

[Dracos]

He opens the door towards him, listening and hiding behind it's cover.

[Anastasia]

The sound of blowing air comes to Aesop. On looking out, he sees that a vast room is ahead! Stretching far, four paths soon diverge - one of white, one of black, one of gray, and one of steel. Each one weaves around the others, going to a point far away that Aesop can't see. There's a pedestol just inside, a little circular space before the great gaps and paths, with writing on it.

[Dracos]

Aesop quietly makes his way in, looking out for traps and ambushes.  Getting near he reads what's on the pedestal.

[16:33] <Dracos> yeah, figured I'd roll and do 1 post rather than two
[16:33] <Dracos> roll 1d100 versus 15 damn trapfinding is hard
[16:33] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 versus 15 damn trapfinding is hard and gets 92." [1d100=92]
[16:33] <Dracos> ;_;
[16:33] * @Anastasia pats.
[16:33] <Dracos> roll 1d100 versus 90 I'm silent as the wind though
[16:33] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 versus 90 I'm silent as the wind though and gets 67." [1d100=67]

[Anastasia]

Aesop doesn't see any traps, just dark void all around the faraway iron walls of this huge chamber.

'Which path do you walk, and which path leads to victory?'

[Dracos]

Aesop took a second to look down each passage, not stepping in but examining them as best  he could for dangers from the safety of the pedestal center room.

Dracos

[Anastasia]

Each passage is a anrrow band of that color that twists and rises, and dips down. Each weaves with the others, bands and passage leading on to a climax ahead that's too far away to see.

[Dracos]

"Well...mm, it asked it of me.  Two questions in fact.  The path that leads to victory by the decision of the owner is clearly black.  The path I've been walking is full of steel and killing though, it's also lead to victory each time so if there's any justice, it'll be the path of steel again that leads to it."  He tried tossing a rock a good 10-20 feet along each path first, but if none of them are blatantly death bringing to that, he heads down the path of steel carefully, focusing on being ready in case the wind picks up.

Dracos

[Anastasia]

With the rocks doing little, Aesop takes to the path. It is a walk of time and patience - after five minutes the four path split apart, the void all around you  now. The way you came seems to fade, and instead, images appear - of the kobolds lying slain, of the wizards cut down, of the snakewoman slaughtered. A soft woosh of air sounds after, as you stand at the other side! The path has come to an end, a simple door ahead.

[Dracos]

Aesop, ever cautious after having daggers in his gut, looks around and listens at the door first.

---

[17:05] <Dracos> roll 1d100 versus 20 X_X
[17:05] * Hatbot --> "Dracos rolls 1d100 versus 20 X_X and gets 59." [1d100=59]
[17:06] <Dracos> yeah passing that twice in a row would be stunning.

[Anastasia]

Aesop hears nothing of note or use.
