Moving spheres

[Ebiris]

They've definitely got the whole Shar look and feel down here, she'll give them that.

Is it wrong that she likes purple? It's the colour of her hair so she should have positive associations with it, but it makes for complicated feelings at times like this. Anyway she keeps on going, alert for secret passages and hidden doors and the like as she floats along.

Taking 10 for 84 on perception for that.

[Anastasia]

As you pass, you notice shadowy slits on the wall, at eye level. Spyholes, hidden in the shadows, easy to miss. You don't see any eyes in them right now, at least.

[Ebiris]

Oh that's interesting! In that case she phases through the wall on her left side into one of the secret spyhole passages so she can explore down it instead.

[Anastasia]

 It's a narrow passage as you'd expect, going back a bit further and then extending onwards a way, until a passage going down is spotted.

[Ebiris]

She keeps on following it down, being her usual attentive self.

[Anastasia]

The song gets louder, but fortunately it's having no impact on you. It is pretty in a haunting, miserable sort of way.

Going down, you find this slopes ahead to a doorway carved out of the sandstone. Whirls curl in on themselves, endless spirals smaller and smaller each loop.

[Ebiris]

Assuming no magical traps or the like, Marie phases through the door.

Plus side Sharran places usually are pretty friendly to incorporeal movement what with their reliance on undead shadows.

[Anastasia]

The door is phased through. On the other side is an open room, another door on the far right and a stairway sloping down between that door and this door. Ahead is carpeted floor, the center carpeting black, with a purple circle in the center, outlined and with more black within. Ahead lies a dark chasm, where two robed figures stand, awaiting and obscured in shadows.

[Ebiris]

She flies in close to get a good look at these robed figures and what magic they have on their persons.

Taking 10 for 59 on relevant spellcrafts to ID their gear, greater arcane sight automatically tells me their active spells.

[Anastasia]

They have detect good and void eyes on them.

You can't see much past the hood, but they look human on a glance. Sharp eyed, watching ahead, of Fiefdoms stock if you don't miss it.

[Ebiris]

Probably anti-paladins or the like if they have that constantly active. Poorly equipped though, so probably not very strong!

Leaving them alone for now, Marie goes to try the stairway down to the far right.

[Anastasia]

It looks to go up. By position, you imagine it would connect to the other side's spyholes.

To be clear, it's on the wall you came out of, just on the other side. That was not entirely clear, my fault.

[Ebiris]

My bad, thought it was going down elsewhere.

Confirming that avenue lines up, Marie then goes back to investigate that dark chasm!

[Anastasia]

It's a dark chasm, stretching farther than she can see. Yet as she stands there, she feels a force pulling at her, almost like a suction to drag her within.

[Ebiris]

Is the singing coming from the chasm?
