[Loud Whispers]

I certainly hope that's dust of disappearance his showering the ground with there and not just sand

I love the water. I hate the sand. It's coarse and it's rough and it gets everywhere

[Egan_BW]

And that is why I am not a bard. Or an evil overlord.

If I was one of those, who were to hide the gate, I would place it in an adamantine sphere, encase that in a lead sphere, then pile a mountain of mostly non-commercial rock.

If you were a bard, you'd know that the thing would be found regardless.

Blackwing is great

[Kagus]

As is Oona.

Speaking of which, does Oona not get a breath cloud because of the mask/headdress? Or are they some sort of undead bugbear ranger?

Heh... On that note, I went back to 1189 to see if the mysterious abductors were showing breath clouds or not, and it turns out that nobody is. So much for cluehunting on that front

[JoshuaFH]

Aw, I thought that AOE silence cast on the dog was going to be more consequential, in possibly screwing up Redcloak's casting right as they run into that dungeon's monsters.

[Egan_BW]

You can just imagine that happening offscreen, if you like.

Trap being a gateway to alternate dungeons confirmed?

[scriver]

Puzzle dungeons! I hate them!

[MagmaMcFry]

WONNNH!

[Kagus]

So...

Either the "WONNNNH" doesn't actually make any noise, or the baddies have been entering every dungeon, triggering that noise when they cross the threshold, and then going "Nah, that's normal".

Also, none of the trackers noticed the very neatly sliced half of a scorchmark that should be showing up for them.

Oops, they didn't load up the same dungeon instance.

I think they might be prevented from hearing it by the trap magic.

If I understand it correctly, the oots gang didn't actually get teleported anywhere, because Rogie disabled the trap, and they ran through it before it reset.

Additional theory: Bypassing the teleports (which just takes you to some random dungeon rooms somewhere each time) was what was actually necessary to reach the Yarn Tangle Crack all along.

[Rolan7]

Nah it's just an annihilation trap with safeguards and protective glammers for the defenders

Xykon's party is really feeling the lack of a rogue, huh.

I'm leaning towards this, with the additional measure that the bad guy gang is going to recognize the half-scorch on their way back out of their own dungeon instance and will realize something is up, in time to rush in behind the OOTS and have jolly uncooperation on the dramatic blink of oblivion.
