Elayna steps gingerly over to the zombie, but keeps her distance. "Uh, does the Master speak a password before he enters that room?"

The zombie steps out and bows again, "The master often speaks before entering rooms."

Seftan peers down the hallway as directed by Ælfric, looking into the etherial and invisible spectrums...
Sep 23, 2020 3:18 am
Seftan peers down the hallway and sees that the door frames (including the ones that don't have doors) are strange and show in multiple planes of existence, as if they can be activated somehow to open a gate to another plane.

"I've never broken into another dimension before," Ælfric said with a mixture of excited anxiety. "Should I open the other door and see what's down there before we venture beyond the veils behind this one?"
Sep 24, 2020 2:57 am
OOC:
At this point, you have no idea if you could even activate these other doors or not :)Sep 24, 2020 5:22 am
Elayna sighs. "I guess I didn't expect that his sanctum would be in another dimension. Hopefully we can get back."
Sep 27, 2020 8:58 pm
Yes let's definitely exhaust all options on the Prime before we venture into realms of true terror.

"Let's pick our poison after seeing what's behind door number two," Ælfric suggested. He moved over to the other door that was both locked and trapped, stood to the side, and carefully used his tools to neutralize its defenses and open it. "It's always good to have options."

Aelfric spends several frustrating minutes working at the lock, but in the end finds that he can't get it open.

"As my woodland friends used to say, this one's a tough nut to crack," Ælfric tried to joke as a means of hiding his disappointment. "Maybe the other one will have more give to it."
He moved to the first door and looked down its corridor, took a deep breath, and walked down it to check out the obviously material door. He examined the other door frames as he passed, too.
"Some help, please, Erevan Ilesere," he muttered as he called on his god for guidance.

Please put the Guidance roll wherever it'll do the most good, DM. :P

As soon as Aelfric steps into the hall, there's a sound of grinding stone as the two statues at the end of the hall each take a step forward, arms raised to strike the interloper. Their footfalls shake the ground and drown out pretty much all of the noise as they move through the hall toward you.

"Ælfric get back!" Seftan shouts to his friend as the trap is sprung. He focuses the arcane energy of his staff into a skin-close barrier all around himself.
