Thonrat heads North, again checking for danger.

He enters the room to the North with no problems.

The room is once again full of various murals, however it has a black ceiling. There are no chairs or tables, but five floating spheres hold magical items captured from the Triumvirate. They float above plinths with notes written on each plinth's malleable surface, the strange sand sponge many Banduin objects are made of. A ring of Bandiolg (OOC: Bandylegs's name now worn down by centuries), two scrolls with unknown spells, a strange black palm sized box and a potion of vitality.

Thonrat examines the notes.

Aelindrel follows Thonrat to the west. He though, gets lost and heads South instead of North

The notes are in Banduin and completely unreadable.

The room to the South contains a single scroll placed in front of four kneeling mats. The mats face a mural showing the Banduin goddess of magic. She seems to be a member of the shamanic class, but the size of a mountain. Extensive writing on the ground reveals they were studying the scroll. Though the writing is of that strange magical mix of mathematics and philosophy typical to scrolls the underlying language is clearly from Zassan.

Thonrat shrugs, backs out of the room and throws his club at one of the floating orbs, diving for the cover of the door as he does so.

"lad, give us the sword!"
Farris runs back downstairs and tries to carve a few chunks off the warriors to feed to the insectoids

The room through the arch is quite wide, basically circular in shape about a 150' across.
A bunch of Banduin Archonoids wander about picking at various bits of meat left on the grassy ground. The herbivorous Goluds stumble about as well munching on some grass.
Across the way, on the other side of the room are three doors with a red filament of energy covering them. More nearby, close to the arch they stand at, is a blue energy covered door.

Templeton enters the blue door.

The orb shatters and the health potion falls to the ground undamaged.

Thonrat cautiously attempts to enter the room again, one foot crossing the threshold.

OOC: If he can reach his club he'll throw it at the orb with the ring next.

The Archonoids begin to rush Templeton, but stop suddenly on smelling warrior meat coming up the stairs. They dig into the pieces offered to them.

Pushing into the blue door Templeton finds himself in a corridor. On the side facing him are three red filament doors with prisoners behind them. A dwarf, a woman from Bandyton by her clothing and an old sickly elf.

Proceeding in this fashion Thonrat obtains all the items in the room in quick order.

"Hello folks, what you doing in here?"

Thonrat can actually make out the spell on the scroll due to his familiarity with the language of Bandyton, it seems to be for a projectile of eldritch energy. The spell is expressed in a form of gestures and incantations to copy and the energy to power it is loaded into the scroll giving it a glow, so he can attempt to cast it. Of course as the spell is standard and the gestures not modified to suit the situation, it cannot reach the power of a Wizard's spell.

He joins Aelindril in the South room quick enough.

The elf merely coughs loudly.

The dwarf rages. "I'm ere to give these bloody moon bastards a taste o' me axe, for burnin' me jewels. Those bleedin' metal men of theirs melted down me clan forge. A tale of revenge I tell ye, a mighty one at that. Pity I never finished me trainin'

The woman seethes.

"I was here to remove the gem, but I was captured. My sword was taken from me, I must claim it and slay the shaman who resides here for the sake of Bandyton"

Aelindril sees the scroll and ring in Thonrat's hands, and snatches them from him. He puts the scroll in his pack and considers putting the ring on, but deigns against it for now.

'More treasure, aren't you a good grunt! I suppose we should go and find that troublesome brother of yours. Lead on!'

They make for where the others went, East passage, up the stairs... checking for danger along the way.

"Then what are you doing stuck in these cages?"
Templeton looks for a way to open the cells.

No problems and they arrive where the others are. They can see Templeton through the nearby blue door, as well as the three doors with red energy across the way.

Fourier

The Archonoids are about halfway through the meat.

Banjo

Farris passes a remaining warrior fillet through the filiment to see what happens, minding his fingers of course.

He notices a red gem above each door. The energy field flows out of them.

sKeith

Templeton whacks the red gems with his staff, the dwarfs, the womans and the elfs in that order.

OOC: Assuming this is one of the cells with red energy

The meat lands on the other side of the dwarf's cell, cooked through.

"Thank ye lad!" he exclaims, tucking in.

Meeting with Thondar, they cautiously make their way halway to the red energy door.

Thonrat grunts, and points at Aelindril's pack.

'What, what is it? The scroll? Oh, here then - I can't read that dwarvish muck.'

Thonrat begans to make the hand gestures and blasts at the red energy.

The Archonoids are ecstatic, it'll take them a while to get through this.

The gems crack and the energy fields shut off.

The dwarf rushes out.

"I'll tear out those pricks throats, I'm following ye lads, the name is Gholduzin!" he shouts tearing off his shirt to reveal a ripped torso with a few odd scars.

"And I am Corsiana!" the woman yells "I shall claim my sword once more!" she says tearing off her prison robes to reveal a fur bikini beneath.

OOC: Gholduzin now part of sKeith's group. Corsiana an NPC until she gets her sword
