Tomb Vs Animeverse, Act 3 (Recovered)

[Dracos]

From Mercury:
"They are searching the passages that the attackers had used in the ambush. Zel and Terry are dead." The last she mentioned in case the robot had missed those facts while he had been disabled.

"It seems as though we will have to choose another way into the tomb."

[Dracos]

Well, besides time pasing, Alita's thorough search of the walls didn't find anything.

[Dracos]

From Alita:
Grumbling to herself, she walked up the stairs.  She stopped outside the sacrificial chamber and peered in.

"I'm done with this place.  I couldn't find another entrance, so I'm moving on."

She walked outside and examined the area.

[Dracos]

From Huitzil:
Turning, Huitzil followed Alita outside.

[Dracos]

From Alita:
Alita walks down to the open huge door where the statues attacked them earlier.  She cautiously walks through the doorway, and exams the chamber from the middle of it.

[Dracos]

The chamber is an empty corridor approximately ten feet wide by ten feet long.  On the floors by the wall there are little marble stands where the knight 'statues' had been standing.  A wood door stands at the other end.

[Dracos]

From Alita:
Walking slowly, Alita moved to the door, she stopped to examine it and it's opening mechanism closely while listening for any sounds.

[Dracos]

From Huitzil:
Following Alita into the chamber, Huitzil scans the door, locking/opening mechanism, and the floor/walls/ceiling adjacent to the door in IR, UV, and X-ray.

[Dracos]

From Recca:
As Alita walks away, Recca shrugs and takes her comment as she leaves for her answer to his prior question. He goes after her, stopping at the entrance to the hall where the statue fighters had been.

Seeing Alita inspecting the door, with Huitzil nearby, Recca decides to likewise do some inspections.

Instead of heading towards the door however, he goes towards the nearest marble stand and examines it, looking either for some trapdoor (not wanting to have to deal with monsters attacking, like the ones from under the beds, without being able to strike first) or something useful possibly hidden. If he finds nothing, he'll go and check the other stands.

[Dracos]

Recca meticulously checked the stands to the best of his ability but discovered nothing hidden about them.  In fact he found they could be shifted and moved, revealing nothing under them either.  They were simply marble stands.

Fearless Leader

[Dracos]

The door felt pleasantly cool to the touch, a wood handle appearing to be the way to open it.

Huitzil detected some sort of mechanism in the walls attached to the door.

Fearless Leader

[Dracos]

From Huitzil:
"There is an unidentified mechanism in the walls attached to the door."


Huitzil focuses his scanners on the mechanism, trying to determine the function of it.

Turning to Recca,
"Please retrieve Bio-unit Mercury."

[Dracos]

Hutzil analyzed it...

The data returned indicated it was a trap of some sort, involving some nasty looking spikes under the floor.

Fearless Leader

[Dracos]

From Recca:
Finding nothing from the marble stands, Recca nods to Huitzil's request, and goes to look for Mercury, saying "Hey Mercury, we're back at that first room since there were no further paths around here. Huitzil and Alita are checking for more traps there right now, before we continue on, and Huitzil asked to 'retrieve' you. Coming?"

[Dracos]

From Alita:
Alita looked at Huitzil and said, "Let's ask Recca to burn the door down while we stand outside the small cavern."  She walked outside without waiting for an answer.  "I don't think this campaign has had enough fire," she mumbled while feeling her side.
