The Wayfarer's Inn

Sol says "Well, it looks like we are committed. Anyone opposed to my following Kherim?" If he hears, no opposition, Sol will pull his gear up next to him and follow Kherim into the room. Otherwise, he will listen to the suggestions of the others.

"Wait!!! By the gods not again!!!" Gaderon looks for any sign of disintegration. Only after such examination does he speak again, but will yell to stop anyone entering...

If it appears the same as the teleportation of before he will offer to go in levitating into the room after explaining to the others... They cannot afford to be trapped, or flung off course further, and he is quite frustrated at the whole thing...

At least from observation, it appeared as the teleportation room before....

To get out of the way, Sol will crawl backwards out of the "passage" into the teleportation room and worm his way back to the room where we started so he can stand up again for a little while, mumbling "I was starting to get claustrophobic in there..."

OOC: Sorry I've been a bit busy as of late! Music is keepin me on muh toes!

Eilkhan looks to the others. "So what now? And listen, boys. Instead of removing your armors and whatnots, I do
have a bag of holding that can more than accomodate your items so you don't have to drag them along. It's much safer."

Gaderon sets aside his unnecessary equipment and begins to prepare himself, after he backs into the starting room they last appeared in... He memorizes the layout and scratches a circle to reappear into just in case it becomes necessary.

"If I can I will return, but if not take what you need from my pack, and try to find your way back... I would say that if I do not return within the hour that should suffice!" Gaderon then turns and determinedly goes back to the other room activating his boots right before he enters!!!

Gaderon immediately disappears, and finds himself inside the room with the many small statuettes on the shelves, close to the room with the toppled statue. Kherim is close nearby, apparently waiting.

"Kherim! If you are well, then we should join with the others by going back the previous teleporting room and tell them it was a safe if yet another utterly pointless detour!!! This fiend is making this a trial for my patience and I cannot believe he keeps using this pointless tactic over and over again!!!" Gaderon approaches some and watches him for any sign of discomfort or odd behavior, but mostly some concern and extreme aggravation show on his face...

([OOC:] I thought I had posted something before AG's reaction, but since it didn't show up I'll correct it now)

Not much time goes by until Gaderon shows up. During that short interval, Kherim wandered around, sword in hand, and checked the corridor to the south of the room, until he was sure he was back in the same place.

When Gaderon appeared, his eyes opened a bit in sign of relief, and a small smile lightened his firm face.

"Yes, you're right. These are annoying tricks, but far from being a pointless detour as the other one probably was, this at least shows a way back that may yet prove very useful. But now we should go back to them, and we can follow the same way we did before."

He then looks a bit more to Gaderon's face, and all the tension accumulating therein.
Approaching the mage with a calming tone, the paladin then adds

"Then I caution you to refrain those thoughts, Gaderon. This fiend is a trickster and if he insists on these tricks, it might very well be for a nefarious purpose later on. He may be trying to convince us these teleports are harmless and pointless, and then catch us all unawares with one that is a real deadly trap. Don't be over-confident in here!"

As he then goes to the previous teleportation room, as Gaderon suggested, he keeps thinking he could use the same advice himself.

Gaderon attempts to lead the way back to the teleport room keeping a weather eye out as he does, but keeps a brisk pace so as to hurry things along... Still when listening to the holy warriors words he thinks to for a moment to himself and then measuredly replys in a low tone...

"I wish that I could be slow, and cautious but I fear that we are being delayed for a reason, and it bothers me that all these signs and distractions may be obvious misleads... If we keep pressing forward we may end up passing by something of significance, and blunder through this maze of magical annoyances mixed with very real threats when it could have been avoided. I would hate to find that Asterion lay dead because we are being led down a path of this wretched creatures design, when we could have turned down the right path before then...."

The way it is spoken makes it almost a rebuke but he is calm but with an edge of annoyed concentration as he re examines walls familiar from the previous passing.

The only further words he speaks are only to be heard in his mind, as he concentrates on all he sees...

'There has to be something I missed!!!'

He thinks, and repeats in his mind often in the moments before they make their way back to the teleportation room...
