Gameplay

From what you can see, the stone doors don't have any obvious lock. There's enough space to walk around the perimeter of the room without touching the sigils, so you could get to the door if you wanted to. In regards to the sigils themselves, they all look different, with some repeating patterns. You haven't seen these exact sort of sigils before, but the magically-learned among you might be able to recognise that this is some kind of magic barrier spell. You don't see any tripwires, pressure plates, or any obvious mechanisms.

What do you want to do?

For Yvandra:

You rush around the perimeter of the room, and shoulder open the stone door on the far side. Nothing happens in the fire room, the fire doesn't appear to move or react in any way. In regards to what you see beyond the stone doors, you find yourself in a rectangular room, where the walls, ceiling, and floor are made of smooth white marble tiles.

There is a bas-relief on the north wall of the room, which depicts lines of Elven hoplites engaged in warfare with horde of pig-faced Orc barbarians. There is a ornate marble sarcophagus in the center of the room. There is an open archway to the north, and another one to the south. From this angle, you can't see anything further.

For Skywise:

If you tried to walk across the floor while sticking to one set of sigils, you'd narrowly pass within the bounds of the large circle, closer to the column of flame. It would be possible though.

For Alvin:

You head back the way you came. The sound of falling water continues to get louder, until you eventually come to an open archway. The open archway leads into what appears to be a large open chamber, with cold water cascading from the ceiling, like an enormous indoor shower. There are iron grates in the floor near the door, where the water is draining into.

Squinting through the falling water, you can see some sort of white stone pedestal or altar, at the centre of the room. You see that there is a large rectangular glass box sitting on the pedestal. Inside the sealed glass box, there is a two-handed sword, the blade of which appears to be made of silvery-white metal. The sword otherwise appears to be unornamented, but looks like a high-quality fighting implement. There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to open the glass box, it's properly sealed shut, but the entire box can be picked up, it's not fixed to the pedestal.

Looking down, you see that there are iron drainage grates all around the perimeter of the room, but seemingly no other entrances and exits. As you turn back towards the pedestal, he suddenly catches a strong smell of ammonia in the air, and you catches a quick glimpse of a greyish, slimy-looking, roughly man-sized humanoid figure crouched down underneath the iron grates, looking up at you with inhuman yellow eyes that catch the light. Before he can react, the weird creature moves backwards, and disappears from view. It's impossible to see down into the space beneath the iron grates with your current level of light, and the water pouring down makes it even harder to make anything out, it's like staring down into your shower drain.

What do you want to do?

As soon as Skywise and Morgan tread within the bounds of the circle, two huge tendrils of flame suddenly erupt from the central column of fire, and incinerate both of them on the spot. From within the column of fire, cruel laughter can be heard.

What do you want to do next, players?

That was quick hahahaha

Alright, finally got some time to update. Sorry about the delay everyone, work was really mauling me this week, especially since I'm doing someone else's role while they're away on holiday.

Looking through the north archway, Yvandra sees a large open room. There is a raised platform in the room, where a suit of hoplite armour is displayed in an upright position. The armour's helmet is plumed with a crest of brilliant orange-red feathers. The armour is seemingly positioned in mid-air, standing freely with nothing visible to support the armour. There is a pale white light illuminating this room, which seems to be coming from below the armour.

Looking through the south archway, you are able to see a short, wide flight of stone stairs that led down into water. It looks like the south room is some kind of "pool room". In the centre of the pool room, there is a small marble plinth, with an elegant-looking shortsword sitting on top. The shortsword is in the "xiphos" style. There doesn't appear to be any additional doors or exits from these two rooms.

For Alvin:

You do not see any traps or hazards in the falling water room.

What do you want to do from here, players?
