The Wayfarer's Inn

"I don't know, but that doesn't sound good? So do we move on or what do we do?"

"I guess we move..."

"I think that this is where we saw the big phoenix. Which way should we go now? What have we not checked out yet?"

"Ahead and to the right.", Kherim says. "There's a slanting tunnel we have to check yet. I'm positive we have more openings yet, but I need a moment to meditate and try to remember them."

Kherim then assumes a meditative position, as one in a transe, eyes lost in the distance, thinking back... After a while, he adds

"Of course, there's also the labyrinth we just left, I think there were a couple of places we never reached... plus some door slabs on the chamber to the right of the entrance. So there's still a few good options!" he smiles a bit.

"Ahead and to the right, then," replies Eilkhan. She moves off at a slow pace. She performs her usual checks here, there and everywhere, taking her time.

Gaderon calls to Eilkhan "Wait, why don't you use the boots of levetation to check out the secret entrance in the wall of the pit before we move on?"

[OOC: Just sank in that Havard was not going to play Gaderon...]

Eilkhan accepts the boots and levitates to the door of the Pit to inspect it thoroughly.

The secret door found here is very cleverly hidden, actually being one of the large stone blocks that the tomb is constructed of. Wouldn't it be for Ahi's enhanced vision, no one would have noticed it. As mentioned before, the inscription is located in the midst of the stone block.

After a cautious examination, Eilkhan is as sure as she can be that there are no traps hidden here - or at least none that she's able to find. Opening it is easy though. The same moment that Eilkhan touches part of the hieroglyphs, the thief has a feeling of impending danger and death washing over her, and then the mighty stone block starts pivoting around its long axis with a grinching noise, revealing a dark and dusty passageway. While the stone block moves, Eilkhan also notices an eerie groaning, and a hoarse whisper of most malign sort comes forth as blown by an unseen wind:

"Fools and Robbers! Thus you invoke the Fourth Curse of Rahotep upon yourselves. Better to have died unborn than to suffer thus."


OOC: Please see the new uploaded map to learn where the secret passageway is located.

Eilkhan shivers "Oh, that's just swell. Another warning from that evil bastard. As if the first three really did anything......"

The rogue levitates back up. She describes what she heard and what she saw. "We going to go have some fun, fellas?"

Sol says "It might be easier to go down by rope. What do you think?"

He will fish out his rope and look for some place to tie it to, so we can all use it to go down to the secret passage with out having to try to pass the boots back up after each person goes down...
