Chapters 1, 2, and 3

The door is rather plain and though the openings would be small any of you could fit through them once the door is opened.

Sarith looks at the Dwarf with a raised eyebrow, "Its a door. If you want to go inside I suggest you open it."

Sarith shrugs, "I'm not sure who it belongs to, there are a lot of things down here that I'm not aware of."

Hunter hears no response from the door, it seems to be ignoring her... How rude!

Eldeth looks around at everyone before stepping up to the door, "We're never going to get anywhere just standing around here!" she says before she steps up and pushes on the door. With a grunt and some straining she is able to open it. "Who wants ta go first?"

The brave Tikbalang walks confidently into the room and finds it to be rather small, about 15 x 15, with a stone diorama depicting a sorcerer surrounded by attendants, slaves, and other trappings of wealth and power. A vista of fantastic floating cities covers the wall to the left of the entrance. On the other side of the room, flanked by 2 empty stone torch sconces, is a staircase that descends 20 feet to a landing, where the stairs resume again after just a few feet. They go down and out of sight

Mai'ngor is able to determine that the floating cities are likely a representation of the floating cities of Netheril. Netheril was an ancient empire that held magical power beyond anything known in current times though it is long gone now.

Hunter's magical training lends some insight into the diorama. She recognizes the sigil displayed on the sorcerer's robes as belonging to a netherese sorcerer by the name of Brysis of Khaem who was interred in a fantastic floating tomb. When the netherese magic was lost the tomb fell and was never recovered. Hunter's master, Hobren, used this tale to illustrate the folly of possessing too much pride.

Great rolls!

"Powerful sorcerer's tomb? Probably some great stuff in here, but it could be dangerous" Jimjar says, unsure now, then his voice lowers to a whisper, "Let's have the drow go first, he can catch the traps for us and if things go wrong we can leave him behind."

Stool, Shuushar, Eldeth, Sarith, Elfog, and Soliin are still outside waiting at the moment.

Mai'ngor descends the stairs, which go down about 100 feet. At the bottom the stairs it opens into a shrine. Shreds of dusty tapestries lie scattered across the floor. Friezes on the walls are defaced with deep gouges, making them unrecognizable. An altar of pale, grey marble stands gouged and cracked against the left-most wall. There is another bronze door on the wall straight ahead and on the the far right wall.
