Tomb Vs Animeverse, Act 3 (Recovered)

[Figment]

Huitzil turned his x-ray scanners on the stone surrounding the door, attempting to determine the path the door took when opened.

[Dracos]

Door seemed to be designed to slide up into the ceiling.

Fearless Leader

[Figment]

Placing his right hand in the indentation, Huitzil attempted to lift the door open.

[Dracos]

Except Huitzil belatedly realized his hands were too big to fit in the hole.

Fearless Leader

[kpjam]

Seeing Huitzil's problem, Alita decides to try and be useful again by walking in front of the mechanical and looks to see if her lithe but deadly hand would fit in the hole.

[Dracos]

They easily would.

Fearless Leader

[kpjam]

Alita bent over and looked into the depression;  she used one of the glowstones to help her see into it and held her other hand next to the eye that was looking into the depression, ready to cover it if something comes out at her.

[Dracos]

The glowstone illuminated the empty hollow, which didn't seem to have anything in it.

Fearless Leader

[kpjam]

Alita shruged, and put the stone away.  She extended her hand into the hollow, feeling around for a switch or handhold that could be used to open the door.

[Dracos]

When she pushed against the top of the handle, the door slowly began moving up with a frightful groaning sound of stone against stone.

Fearless Leader

[thepanda]

Mercury raised her shield in prparation for a surprise attack from something behind the door. She began scanning the moment the shield was up.

[kpjam]

Keeping her hand on the switch, she moved as close to the wall as she could, trying to minimize her exposed surface area.

She stayed alert for anything that might come through the door.  Unless she hears or sees something other than the door or her companions, she'll keep her hand on the door until it's open enough for Huitzil to pass through.

[Dracos]

Alita found herself being dragged up with the door, her arm painfully having the weight of her body being put on it as she held on tightly to the switch.

Because of this, she couldn't actually see through the door.

Mercury scanned the room as it opened, finding a remarkably gothic structure in the medium sized (20 cubic feet, circular) room.  She could spy with her eyes statues coming out of every wall, depicting gargoyles.  usually just the claws and head.  On the roof she detected some large stone statue with her computer.

Fearless Leader

[thepanda]

"Alita, let go of door!" Mercury called from her position.

[kpjam]

Hearing Mercury's scream, Alita let go of the door.  Assuming she lands okay, she readies her gun and looks into the room.
