Chapter 3: Level 2 dungeon
Looking at the woman Nix also shakes his head in denial. I also do not know her, and I do not drink strong liquors or even ale. again he shakes his head and peers around, searching for clues.

I was investigating a recently uncovered ruins with others of my tribe. I was separated by the others by a series of traps. The last thing I recall before being here was looking into pool of water that reflected a bright light. Looking around he continues But that was not this room. Perhaps another trap that moved me to this area?

Moving to keep an eye of the large man and the others that block the door to this room he finds himself in Nyx scans the room for symbols or other markings that seem to be common components of the traps he previously encountered in the ruins before appearing hear
OOC:
assuming the ruins he was exploring in his homeland has similar traps / clues etc

Chapter 3: Level 2 dungeon
From beyond the man who opens the door you hear the sound of wings beating the air, and then a lilac colored fairy darts into view. Small and light like all of her kind, she bears butterfly wings and wields a staff with the head of a ram. Her voice is like the sound of tiny bells.

"Well. What have we here? More of Acererak's victims, or more of his tricks?"

A tall man with brown skin appeared after the fairy, wielding sword and shield.

"They'd be the first living enemies we've seen in here... if they really are living."

Slightly confused and worried, though encouraged that they are at least talking before attacking, Nyx aks I was unaware of any others in the area having entered the mountain ruins. How did you get past my people to enter this place?

At Tinkara's comments Nyx's ears twitch and he glances at her but continues to search the room for clues to the changes in his circumstances.

In response to the tall mans comments he replies Have you not had to contend with beasts and other creature in the area beside the traps placed by the accursed crafters of these ruins? I have no quarrel with you at this time but I assure you I live and will fight to keep it so. All I seek is to return to my tribe so we may seal and mark the wretched place to save others from entering and loosing their lives to the sadistic machinations of whoever built it.
OOC:
Nyx is unaware that he has been moved to this place and so is under the impression he is still where he started, on his homeworld in his shifter clans territory.

In the magical light Nyx see that the room features nothing plain stone walls, ceilings and floor with no symbols or other markings.
The carved stone font filled with water it the only feature in this small room. Shifter's instincts suggests there is something wrong with environment: it's warm and humid just as you are near an underground geyser or something.
OOC:
don't really remember which object but we have a pair of light cast on objects carried by PCs

Deciding to so a simple test on the pond Nyx and slips his hand into a pouch at his waist Nyx draws out a couple of the tiny sacks' within, selects something from within one and returns all back to his pouch. Stepping a bit to the right/east so as to not be at the far side from the door to the room he tosses the seed into the pool and mutters a couple of words and grips the totem at his neck and releases a bit of nature's power to make the water lettuce plant sprout from the seed.

a seed pod open and a green string reaches into the water.
OOC:
Not sure what was your goal of that action, but the magic did what it was supposed to do.
What would each of you want to do next?

Based on seed behavior that's just a water.

As my memory seems to have been tampered with; I do not know what lies around us in this accursed place or even which direction we are heading.

In addition to your names, perhaps each of us could share what they know of the rooms and areas around this one and what they think the destination might be and where it could be found.

I have a strong feeling that this is a very bad place to wander in aimlessly.

Let's say Tante Lude do remember this level and reading bronze plaque fixed to the east wall of this level as well as the west hallway leading to "wine room" she were defeated at.

@badbaron @Psybermagi ifyou click on DM icon you will get access to level maps as well as some info. I'm trying to get them up to date gradually. We are on LVL 1 at the moment and LVL 0 is mostly cleared (except for one location party were scared to go to due to magical magnet)

"I'm Zean. This IS a very bad place to wander in aimlessly - indeed. We planed to go to the room with the square skull skeleton. And as much as I would like to make a good and long story about what we have discovered here so far... I would prefer to do it at some fireplace when we finally leave this damned place. Please come with us, we will try to tell you what we know on our way or when we enter the specific location. Maybe with time your memories will return, too? I have a bad feeling about staying here for too long..."
OOC:
GM maybe you could spoil if we should check this room somehow better - the one we found Nyx - as I'm not sure this room is planed part of whole dungeon or it is mainly used by you to introduce new players? What would be completely understandable:)

OOC:
thanks for letting me know. I think I've fixed it. let me if it is not accessible.
Also, let me know if any PC from existing party want to share their progress info IC or prefer me to provide a recap on the locations still not "cleared"
A recap of this level is provided as the very first post in current thread.
Tinkara notice something strange about the doors party passed by in a hurry
Three humanoid heads stick out of the holes, each covered in putrid flesh and gnashing on an iron bit bolted to a chain bridle.

GM sheet is now public, thanks
Somewhat reasured by Zean's frankness Nyx agrees to acompany the others. If this pace is related to the one I came from then there will likely be signs or clues related to overcoming the challenges we encounter. Though not always he grumbles the last.

Nyx calls forth his familiar, which is currenlty in the form of a flying monkey, and searches the room walls, ceiling, floor and water basin for any tracks (if the floor is dusty), markings, irregularities, magics, or concealed mechanisms. Perception +8 = PP 18 If noting of interest is found he will move to leave to room, though will not press through the crowded doorway

"Hey, I see we have some zombies... maybe, in any case some type of undead, sticking their heads out of the holes in this door. They seem to be chained up and have a bit in their mouths. I doubt we should leave them for later."

"I'm Ixion. Sorry to meet you under these circumstances," he told the newcomers before moving beside Tinkara.

"Like hunting dogs, perhaps. Gods forbid they're meant to pull some infernal chariot."

Ixion had Blæcsæx to hand, the mighty blade ready for the grim yet necessary task of dispatching the undead.

"Lend a hand and a sword, new guys?"

Not eager to explore on his own, Nyx will pause his investigation should the others turn their attention away from the room he is in.

Thank you Nyx, Ixian, a pleasure to make your acquaintance as well, despite the circumstances.

That hallway to the West, I seem to remember. A font of wine and invisible monsters pulling people under and drowning them.

As for the rest, have you made any progress on the words of that plaque?

The "dead abhor sunlight" line might apply to those zombies if there's a trick to let a little natural light in.

From what I gather, just killing chained up zombies isn't typical. More typical is their death or an attack leading to some other threat.
