Carthrat

Tchaener pulls out his Rope, and quickly tries to tie it around the doorknob. After this is done, he steps back and carefully levers the door open...
[19:14] <Annerose> Aww, mouth not outpacing brain after all?
[19:14] <Candide> My brain caught up

Anastasia

The rope is cut as the door is pulled open! A nasty stabbign blade reveals itself, but the door is safely open nonetheless. Ahead is the spiky pit, the black gem floating, waiting ahead of you.

<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

Expertly looping the rope through the sack, and creating a useful grabbing tool, Tchaener slings it out to try and snatch the levitating orb!

Utter failure. The throw is errant, not even triggering the arrow trap.

Carthrat

Reeling his snare back in, Tchaener sends it forth once more!

[01:19] * Hatbot --> "Carthrat rolls 1d20+2 and gets 16." [1d20=14]

Got it! This time the floating crystal is nabbed, landing safely amid the perilous spikes! It's a simple matter from here to reel it in.

Having pulled back in the orb, Tchaener starts his treck back towards the snake-woman, a satisfied grin on his face.

Oh! Once inside you find her waiting for you - smiling ear to ear, right niside the door! "My hero!" she crows, latching onto Tchaener with affection and tight squeezing! Ow! (1 damage.)
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.

"Ah, not quite so enthusiastic, my dear," notes Tchaener, wincing a little. "The trek was difficult walking."

Anastasia

"DId you get it," she asks cheerfully, slightly less binding as she wraps around Tchaener - literally. Her head rests against his chin, eyes sparking.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Carthrat

"I did! Half of the yonder door is now open!" he crows, before his voice turns a little sad. "Why is it that you must remain here for eternity?"

Player.

"Oh! I am trapped to this room," The snakewoman merely sighs, "Such is my fate. Oh, if one were to be able to dispel the potent curse on me one day...I have a book. A great book, and with the right password, it can summon a tool. For you know..."

A pause as she lowers her voice, "The Dark One has a secret. There is a legendary artifact from across the plains here..." So she sighs, "I will tell you the password and give you the book if you can ever free me. Even if I do not remember this meeting a day later, I will keep that word. I swear it by Lolth herself. With that book, part of the bindings around it can be undone."[/i]

Tchaener pauses, and the nods, slowly. "We all have a stake in unravelling this place," he says, eventually. "This is not my true self, but a form designed to conquer this level.

"Yet I would free all who are forced to live here, time after time after time. I know not if it's a cruelty or a blessing to retain memories of prior encounters. But to spite him...

"Then, yes. Do you have a hint of how it may be done?"
