Chapter 1: finding the Tomb

Tinkara laughs, a sound like the ringing of tiny bells.

I'm a lot of things, but super cautious is not one of them. No risk, no reward. No matter what you do, life is short.

My friends call me Tinks. I think you all qualify at this point.

Zean helps Tinks with inserting the stones in the sockets of the stone door. While doing so he comments:
"You are right Tinks, there are only 8 holes and we have 9 cubes... and that leaves us with flail snail cube... I wonder if that means something... it's earth creature... so maybe we have to look for something in the ground?"

So he adds a little louder, so the rest of his companions could hear him:
"Do you see any other socket, near the ground so we could use it with the last cube of flail snail idol?"

When they will end inserting 8 cubes and IF nothing will happen: Zean will look at the bottom of the door. And if there i.e. some layer of dirt/ground that could cover the door bottom he will try to uncover it.

As the others go into the passageway, Throgin steps back to allow the others to handle the puzzle solving. He draws his maul and starts slowly tapping the end of it on the ground while watching the gargoyles

Thad keeps his sword and wits ready. He steps forward jus5 a few feet, to observe the smaller tunnel.

Strange, each skull has a small hole in it's mouth. Can barely fit a finger in. Zean announce while Tinkara is carefully putting the magic cubes in the sockets . An attempt to look into the hole reveal it is a feet long and ends in a stone.
Vatoris meanwhile notice more moss one one part of the obelisk at the height 7-3 foots. He obelisk is either damaged here or there is something engraved beneath because irregular surface would allow moss to develop.

Hearing what Zean has said, Tinkara is careful to keep her small body out from in front of the skulls, i.e. in the center of the door as she finishes inserting the cubes.

Zean, I think it's best if you aren't in front of any of the skulls. My gut tells me something might come out of there when I'm done putting these cubes in.

Vatoris approaches the obelisk and uses his mage hand to clear off any moss...

"Perhaps those of us who can move objects with our minds should insert the last boxes from afar," Ixion suggested. "Can we borrow you a second, Bunte?"

"I hate to say it... Tinks but you seam to be right... again" - Zean announces before starting to move slowly, departing from the stone doors, but walking backwards, his face turned towards the door with concentration on the skull's "mouths" and reaching into his belt pouch to pull out a few legume seeds and getting ready to cast the Gust of Wind spell.

"BUT... as there is only stone on the other side of the holes clearly visible... it may be some kind of poisonous gases trap, rather than projectile one... so... your very elegant body size can be not enough to avoid it... so the idea about Vatoris tricky hands probably is the best one. In case I'm right this time... and something happens... keep to the center of the door and hold tight... I will be ready with the power of wild winds, that always precedes the proper Storm... "

The moment Tinkara insert all 8 cubes and release the last with a loud cracking sound and shaking the ground a stone block descends over the tunnel entrance preceded by huge amount of sand and tiny boulders.

Throgin spots the stone decending down and immediately attempts to open it back up Tink....Ixion, I got you.
