Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-2

[Carthrat]

Sacchin ties some at random to her belt, and holds the bag open to her allies when she emerges.

"Drinking things makes you strong! Probably."

[Corwin]

"Something to keep in mind," Euphemia agrees, trying to open that door that lead to a stairway going down, if she recalls properly.

[Anastasia]

The third door opens again without incident. The stairway is there, looming in it's stairway-ness.

[Corwin]

Happy at this progress, Euphemia gestures onwards grandly, as surely someone will take that as a sign to descend down the stairway first.

[Carthrat]

Sacchin doesn't seem to have a problem wading down into the stairwell, all-seeing eyes peering into the darkness beyond!

[Ebiris]

Flasheart spends a minute fiddling with the door while Sacchin loots potions.

Taking 20 for 23

[Corwin]

Euphemia accompanies Sacchin at a safe distance, loaded crossbow out, and ready to cast the spell of Light should it get too dark to see.

10-15ft behind Sacchin, say?

[VySaika]

Noticing the ladies going down the stairs, Ranmaru hesitates, looking back to the Lord who was still futzing with the door, "Ah, is it really a wise idea for us to split up like this?"

Assuming nobody listens to him, Ranmaru chooses to remain with Lord Flasheart, not wanting to leave anyone on thier own in this place.

[Anastasia]

Lord Flasheart pops the door open after some struggles as Ranmaru joins him! Inside is a narrow catwalk, five feet wide. Around it things expand out into a void. The cat's walk goes farther than Flasheart can see.

The stairway goes down about sixty feet. At the bottom, Sacchin can see that water gently laps against the last step. There is an underwater passage glimpsed below the water's surface.

[Ebiris]

"There we go!" Flasheart puts away his crossbow bolts, seeming quite pleased with himself. "Now, lets go catch up with those girls before they die horribly, eh?" With that he leads his confusing companion down the stairway Sacchin and Euphy went down.

[Corwin]

"It never ceases to amaze me how everything seems interconnected," Euphemia murmurs. "And at the same time, I have to wonder if it truly is, or just looks that way on the surface. How about we try opening the last door before deciding on our next move?"

Door #4 is still around and locked, if memory serves.

[Ebiris]

Flasheart repeats his door unlocking antics on the last door!

[Carthrat]

"Sick of getting wet anyway," notes Sacchin, returning to the top of the stairwell.

[Anastasia]

The fourth door opens! Inside is a flat wall three feet in. Above is a tunnel going ten feet up, then hooking to an upward slant leading ahead. It's climeable, though it won't be easy.

[Corwin]

Euphemia makes a face. "Yet another path I won't find it easy to proceed into, it seems."
