I'm a bit confused about our location too. ^^;

[Dwarmin]

Where are we again? Or rather, what's around us? I seem to remember something about multiple doors and a hallway, but I'm lost otherwise.

The dungeon/catacombs underneath the Keening Willow Cemetary-your in the 1st level lobby. There's four exits in each cardinal direction.

One is a spiraling staircase leading down.

One you just escaped from-the sewer drain room.

One has the skeleton of a chained dragon, where SeriousConcentrate found a Draconic flute

and the last one leads back to the surface through a trapped hallway, which has already been passed.

[IronyOwl]

Ah, so down's the only path left, really.

Head down the stairs, grabbing a light source if there's any nearby.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Leaves punched the wall. He and War Wind were the only two left from the original five who had left the monastery! And at the rate they were losing brothers, how much longer would either of them last? He forced himself to calm down and followed Pressing Tide in silence, lost in thought about the fate of his brothers.

Follow Tide, Keeping up pace next to him

[Dwarmin]

What the...just provide me what a pic of what a Sprite is.

I was thinking they were like, really small. 

[adwarf]

Here is the wiki page, but not all Sprites are small Naiads aren't,and neither are Mermaids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(creature)

[Zako]

Hot damn, I'm in! A shame about loosing our healer though, that sucks.

"A shame that your friend had to do that for us. Truely there was no other way, and we shall carry on his mission in our hearts and minds." Molten heart bows his head for a while, and it seems as if his hair glows ever so slightly from the roots for a moment. "We should find ourselves a light source of some kind, and quickly. Perhaps there is something we can use outside to make torches or maybe find a lantern?"

Also, I claim both the potion and the healing kit.

[Dwarmin]

@Adwarf:All right, I guess you'll have to be a slightly smaller, white skinned Elf. I dunno!

You mind if I fix your bio?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Silver Tree was born a sprite deep in the pristine forest heartlands-for generations, his people had defended their land from both Darklords and Sommlendings-all of which were eager to take cold iron axes to young trees for firewood. In their eyes, man was no worse than Giak. This all changed when they found themselves in the path of a Darklord army, intent on trampling through and flanking the army of Sommerlund. The Sprites fought bravely, but the enemy had numbers-outnumbered ten to one, they would surely have been destroyed, if not for the timely intervention of the Kai warriors. They rallied the Sprites and drove off the attackers-that day ended in victory, but a costly one. The sprite who would come to be known as Silver Tree was one of many orphaned in the battle. The Sprites, realizing that seclusion was no longer guarantee of safety, agreed that he should live among the humans for a time, and learn their ways.

He was natural archer, quickly surpassing many of his peers in contests, and like many sprites, animal empathy was a natural learned skill as well. Though he did suffer a degree of hostility due to his heritage...the Sprites had killed many Humans as well during their isolation, and even now, relations were strained. It's the hope of many that when Silver Tree returns to his people, he will be able to shepard them into a new future.

He was gifted with a oaken longbow on his 21st birthday-he was still training for the day when he would reach the level of intiate, when...

Turn 25

Everybody:Search for light, descend
----------------------------------

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

(Team Luck roll 1d6=4)
(War Wind int roll, detect trap, 5, passl)

(War Wind hard int roll, detect trap, 8+2=10, fail)
(Random target 1d5=Sheltering Leaves)
(Sheltering Leaves agi roll, dodge trap, 10+2=12, fail)
(Damage 1d3=1, additional effect 1d3=2, poisoned!) )(Sheltering leaves Endurance roll, resist poison=4, passl) (Poison severity=1,1) (poison dissipates)

(War Wind hard int roll, detect trap, 1+2=3, passl)

(War Wind very hard int roll, detect trap, 1+4=5, passl)

The group of Kai warriors decides to retreat momentarily-realizing that a light sources would be helpful, but seeing none on the walls, they backtrack to the basement and find four torces, along with flint and steel sets. Only War Wind lights his to lead the way, and other 3 are distributed to Sheltering Leaves and pressing tide, who must navigate without the benefit of Darkvision.

The stairs descend nearly 50 flights in all-and there's traps littered throughout, as well as hallways branching off every ten steps or so. The Kai realize it would take months to explore the entirety of this place, and for now, are content to seek the bottom...

War Wind spots and steps over the first one-a tripwire set to trigger to some sort of arcane explosive device. He warns the others to be careful...and misses the next one, a nearly invisible lever in the floor. His heavy foot depresses it, and the Kai hear a very quiet *fwip* as a hidden launcher fires a dart! It strikes Sheltering Leaves in the chest, barely piercing his armor with the tip-Sheltering Leaves feels a familiar burning sensation...this time, he's able to rip out the dart and before the toxin can do any damage. He purges the remnants of the Shade Cap poison with no difficulty.

War Wind is more careful as he continues, and he spots another lever like before 14 flights down, and steps over that one without incident. The last one is the most difficult-as they reach the bottom, there's a sudden dim illumination ahead of them. Supressing the urge to run ahead, War Wind thinks for a moment, and then looks up. There! A small emitter bud, set about head level-gathering up a handful of dust, he blows it and his suspicions are confirmed-it's an invisble beam of light. The Kai keep their heads down as they pass, and War Wind experimentally waves his sword in front once everyones at a safe distance. Nothing happens right away-except his sword begins to glow red hot. That would have been a nasty trap!

Glad to be free of yet another trapped corridor, the Kai emerge from the Staircase into a room larger, and more ornate than the one before-it seems someone has been here recently-there's a lit torch set on the far wall. There's four doors leading out of here, one in each corner, and another decending spiraling staircase directly across from them. In the center is an pool of what seems to be fresh water-in the middle, three statues, depicting a woman and two young children at ease. They seem unnaturally cheerful for a place like this. Engraved at the base, are the words...

'Dedicated to my family-Alana, Rebecca, Dalia-we will be reunited one day'

My god! I'll end up killing everyone by accident or association at this rate

Light the torch, explore the northwest door.

War Wind takes out a marker from nowhere and writes in the letter "E" on the statue. All of a sudden, Rocks begin to fall from the ceiling, crushing all the Kai warriors!

I'm assuming I have Darkvision.
