1.4 - The Wyr River: Out of the darkness, into ...

"Careful Yui. Don't critcize the surgeon when he has the knife in his hands. I might accidentally press the blue panel again. Ho hum." He winks at Yui.

With the door open and the light restored, most of the party thinks it would be a good time to rest. Darazen sits and tries to compare and consolidate notes. Both he and Vult are extremely tired, but feel they should work this out before they rest and while it is still fresh in their minds.

Darazen says he is positive that one panel (left) controls the enviroment inside and and the other (right side) controls the outside. It controls the air, the light, makes things lighter and heavier, and they can lock the doors. Of course, if someone can come along from the other side and undo what you did, like unlocking the door, it is pretty useless.

Vult explains that the red/orange key panel is a locking mechanism. With it locked, secured, or armed (he was not too sure which translation fit, but these make the most sense), no one on the other side can make changes. And, it accepts new IDs and passwords. Now that he knows the sequence, he can set up other IDs if needed.

Utazó and Tara: Utazó hears something again down the hall, a **click click beep click click beep**. She pulls herself together, whispers to Tara for her to follow and makes her away to the T. Peaking around the corner to the left, the hall ends 60 ft down in a door with the panel/window dark.

A little louder now: **beep click click beep click beep click **

It is coming from the right. Turning and looking in that direction, the hall continues another 60 ft and ends in a door to another room. The panels on each side are lit and a sign above the door says "Rememdium". The sounds seem to be coming from the sign. It flickers.

Ok, Utazó and everyone returns to the room. Vult demonstrates how the user panel works and locks the door with everyone inside. You all are tired, hurt and hungry. After finding another smaller sub-panel in the main panel, he determined this one was to cover the portal. It did not turn it off, but it did put some sort of shield around it. No one is going in, or coming through it.

You need a good nights rest and it definitely looks like night outside. With the door secured, Darazen turns does the lights so it is not so bright. Even if you have bed-rolls, it is still going to be a cold, hard night on a metal floor.

Let me know how watches are broken down and who is on which watch. Is there anything else you want to do before your ten hour rest?

Overnite results:

First Shift: Peaceful

Second Shift: The lighting in the room rose and fell slightly and a small hum was heard. From outside the windows, a few flashes of light were seen. Getting up to investigate, you see a small cloud of dust descending over a portion of the valley. Suddenly, the hum returns and an arch of light flashes from the ridge. It ends in another small flash and forms another cloud of dust. As your eyes adjust, see small rocks in the night sky, falling. Some tumble and crash into the landscape while some tumble towards the "town". The former hit the surface and dust rises leaving small pot-marks while those over the "town" are hit by these beams of light. It appears the Numenera is taking care of itself. You decide it is nothing to worry about and move back to your watch position against the wall with a good line of vision of the door and the portal. ~What a strange place.~

Third Shift: Peaceful. You think you hear a few clicks and pings, but the noises are faint and it could just be your imagination.

If after you awaken and take your "10 hr" recovery and are still down in your pools, refer to the Restore Rolls post.
