The obelisk says "the keys turn on the inside only". I can fly, I can't fall into a pit. Put the blocks in and I'll go pull the lever. I'm not afraid.

Clarify/recap:
Pull Lever down. Pit opens up.
Pull Lever up. Nothing happens.
Next hour you do everything you can (begin with cast all types of cantrips and ending with throwing dead cockroaches on the spikes :) )
After an hour first doors (with 9 cavities) descends closing the room with the pit.
You spend one more hour retrieving cubes as they are teleported back to shrines (and you have to do quite some tasks to recollect them, but we are skipping that part)
[ +- ] We are back to this

Tinkara takes the cubes and puts them in the door sockets the same way we had them before.

I'll give time other players to post before narrate door opening. Anyone who has nothing to post, please let me know so I don't wait for nothing

Zean don't stops her:) And after the door will open again:
Zean will try to see if there is something interesting on the next door(on opposite side of the pit), besides the unlucky lever. Then in the pit, finally on the celling? Without entering the tunel, yet.

I got nothing really. I think Tinkara is testing to see if putting the cubes the same way offers the same results? Next, we should try something different.

Just like last time - all nine cubes flare with light, then disappear. Growling the slab begins to slide up into the ceiling.
It opens and you see both floor raised up and Lever in upper position, just like you saw the room first timeNeither during the hour of failed attempt to close the pit nor now no can't see anything more that you saw the first time. Well perhaps a less dust on the floor as it slip into the pit.

OOC:
OK, good let's move on. Everything is re-set, your second chance. Mar 27, 2024 7:14 am
Let's do this!
Tinkara flies in and pulls the lever. She's very careful to touch nothing but the lever, and stays airborne the entire time.

Sore thing, there is nothing else to touch. Since you already announce the desire to do that I'm narrating immediately. Anyone think I hurry too much - let me knowMar 27, 2024 9:18 am
Zean angry that they didn't do any progress, tosses a mid sized rock into the pit and says:
"The next part of the riddle says: 'Don the mask or be seen.' or are we already on the 'The keys turn on the inside only.' part? Do you see any masks or something like this there Tinks? Is there anything interesting on the door besides the lever? Any symbols? I must say, that I'm even willing to stay inside the tunnel when the door will close once again..."
Zean checks if there is any place that he could stand inside the tunnel when the door will start to close again, so he will be sure not to fall into the pit.

Whole floor collapsed. Nothing to stand on. If anyone has Climber's Kit or at least hammer+ pitons + rope you can tailor some way to hang there on the wall. Or you can carefully descend and stay in the pit (you only take damage falling into it, not climbing down. Tinkara could stay inside and in air with no special actions.
Mar 27, 2024 10:06 am
OOC:
Ok, but how it looks if Zean would be in the pit? Is there a way for him to be lifted by the floor rising again or will he stay closed in the pit? :DMar 27, 2024 10:10 am
Besides, did you see that:
Zean will try to see if there is something interesting on the next door(on opposite side of the pit), besides the unlucky lever. Then in the pit, finally on the celling? Without entering the tunel, yet.Is there anything on the door? In the pit there are only spikes? And nothing on the celling?

OOC:
Narrative of your actions will come later, only clarification for now. As a clarification I can remind party spent hour looking all around the 20x10 foot room and found nothing of interest. Mar 27, 2024 10:17 am
OOC:
Ok, thanks! It has slipped from me in that case. I thought we never entered the tunel and only used the magic hand or Tinkara's hand to lower the lever. Thanks for clarification.

Thad produces rope from his pack. He looks for a place to knot his rope around a sturdy tree, otherwise also producing his grappling hook for proper station.
Let’s get ourselves ready to climb down, friends. We can avoid the spikes with careful descent.
Unless anyone has another idea?

what if we let it reset, let the floor rise then dont pull the lever until the outer door closes? Key from the inside

Tinkara flies down into the pit, carefully avoiding the spikes, and looks for any sign of inscriptions, doors, other controls, etc. Does she see anything?
