The Wizards
My Name is Immaterial:Pry the gems out of the lion's eyes.
Both.
[1] As you come close to the door, the ruby eyes of one of the statues begin to glow, and its water stops flowing. You pick up the pace and reach for the gems, when suddenly your foot goes numb and you collapse on the floor in front of the statue.
Felissan:Look for pebbles on the floor, and throw one between the statues to check for eye lasers
You pick up small chunk of stone nearby, and give it a good throw to the opposite door. Neither of the statues seem to show any change.
crazyabe:Walk over and look down the hole in the floor.
You step inside the decorated circle and take a look through the grate. The sides of the drain get darker and darker, until suddenly they hit an obsidian blackness. You probably shouldn't reach inside there any time soon.
ATHATH:First action: Make a scroll.
[40] You make a scroll of
Summon Money Spider: A hole appear out of the ground, out of which crawls a 5-foot long spider. It's eyes are made of precious gems, which are dropped upon death, along with 4d12 gold pieces.
FallacyofUrist:Zan taps one of the statues.
The ruby-eyed ones.
As you approach, you see the statue's ruby eyes begin to glow, and Jonas collapses to the ground in front of it. You step to the side and give the statue a quick tap, but nothing happens.
((Note: Since we've entered a new room, I've decided to stop using another person's magic table and cobble together my own (to make sure all the effects are fun). Currently, it's very small, but it will grow as time goes on.))

Name: Jonas Rasmussen
Appearance: An old man, with a magnificent white beard that stretches down to his knees, dressed in deep blue robes, and a cap, ending in a rather wilted point. The thumb and index finger of his right hand is now gone.
Backstory: Magic was a very late calling for Jonas. He was born the son of a smith, and took an apprenticeship with a traveling tinker at a young age. He took well to the traveling life, and the tinker profession, and took over the business after his master grew too old to continue his life on the road. He did well for himself, and eventually took an apprentice himself, who he passed the business onto when he met a kind widower, and settled down. It took him a decade of married life to realize how much he missed life on the road. He bought a wagon, some tinker tools, and set out, with his wife by his side. She succumbed to a fever a few months later in the middle of nowhere, at the gate of wizard's tower. Having lost their cart, horses and all their material possessions to bandits, Jonas begged the wizard for help, some way to restore his wife to life.
And so began his magical education.

Name: Félix
Appearance: A young cloaked man, blindfolded with a mask.
Backstory: Félix lived most of his childhood as a street urchin in a far-off country, until he met in the street a wizard, who came as an ambassador of this land. Trying to imitate him without any knowledge of magic, he accidently displayed a great talent for binding life energy. On his travels back home, the wizard decided to take the kid with him, to show him to a master who would help him control his powers better. He eventually became experienced enough in scrying to see the world around him better through the flow of energy than with his own eyes. He felt like he owed too much to his master to just dismiss this part of his life after his death, so he went to the dungeon along with his fellow apprentices to avenge him.

Name: Vestarus the Old
Appearance: He is a wizened old man, with a long, grey wispy beard and wrinkled skin. He wears a wizard hat to cover his bald head. His dark brown eyes gleam with vigor and life.
Backstory: In his childhood, Vestarus was tested for his magical affinity. Having enough aptitude to become a wizard, he was sent to Kolarus Academy- the finest Magic Academy in his local province. He studied there till he was 30, but was unable to make any significant progress, despite his efforts. The Academy, believing he was fated for nothing, kicked him out. After being kicked out, he wandered the world for many years, learning much about life, and enjoying his limited time on the Mortal Plane. When he was 50, he met a wizard named Selmir, who agreed to take him on as an apprentice. After recieving Selmir's guidance, and studying for many years, he managed to breakthrough to become a novice wizard at the age of 72. Learning of his master's unfortunate demise in the dungeon, Vestarus was enraged and swore to avenge his death at any cost.
Name: Bob
Appearance: A rather youthful young man, not pass his twenties, with a sparkle in his eye and an air of youthful optimism and curiosity about him.
Background: As it turns out, tutelage fees are non-refundable, even upon the death of said tutor. Bob worked so hard for a proper university education, and dang right he is going to make the most of it!
Name: Nix II
Appearance: A moustachioed gentleman in long black robes, with a very large purple turban sitting on his only slightly smaller head. He is missing his left hand's pinky, ring finger, and middle finger. His left hand is missing its left side.
Backstory: A seeker of knowledge in all its forms, Nix roamed the land finding teachers, learning here and there from any he could find. Magic, the purest form of knowledge affecting reality, seemed a logical choice. To his surprise, he found a teacher willing to teach him all that he knew, and the two became friends. Before Nix could learn what he desired, his friend was taken from him. For the first time, motivated by more than just curiosity, Nix ventures into a dungeon with anger in his heart.
Name: Fred Jones
Appearance: Take an average human male, wearing all-purpose robes. They're good for running away from stuff in. Now give them cat ears for no explicable reason.
Backstory: He's here for the money. There's money, right?
Name: Fenilla Sedar
Appearance: A nice young woman in all appearances, with dark green eyes and long nut-brown hair tied into a ponytail. Oddly enough, she seems to have leaves in her hair. She also seems to be wearing a tunic, skirt, and perky cap that looks a bit like a turnip. In the looks department she might be a bit too pretty to be cute-she looks decent enough, but seems to lack something about her, something essential-as if her creator wasn't exactly feeling very creative. He probably didn't expect her to live long anyway, you know.
Backstory: She was originally a tree, and quite happy being one, with pretty leaves and acorns and everything. One day an Archwizard, contemplating the ashes of his last apprentice, decided to try his hand at making a new apprentice himself. This being would eventually become Fenillia, a flesh and blood young woman fond of creative magic, bad puns, expository dialogue, tasty vegetables, terrible hats, and dubious acts of attempted heroism. The Wizards unfortunate destruction at the hands of an unforeseen foe years later left her with nothing but a burning need to run away and live her own life, but the mechanics of her construction were such, that she had been enchanted to seek vengeance in the case of his death. With no other choice, she belatedly set off for that terrible dungeon where barely anyone got past the five rats in the first room...
