[20:31] <GM|> ((This isn't a rougelike.  Although that would be awesome))
[20:31] * Raoul sheathes his sword, almost disappointedly. "Well. I see little reason to dawdle here. I suggest we continue onward, and downward."
[20:32] <Raoul> ((Wouldn't it? Except for the part where we die fifty times before we understand why we suck.))
[20:32] <Yuki`> ((/me flashbacks to Stone Soup Dungeon Crawl. >_<! ))

[20:34] * Nikolai heads downstairs
[20:34] <GM|> *You go down the stairs - and the stairs themselves light up under you revealing what soon appears to be an endless abyss surrounding you... the stairs themselves seem to descend into a stone hole in the nothingness about 100 feet down.
[20:34] <Nikolai> "..."
[20:34] * Yuki` looks down. "..."
[20:35] <Nikolai> "This isn't terrifying at all."

[20:37] <Yuki`> "ugh... vertigo.  Lots and lots of vertigo."
[20:37] * Raoul stares down into the deeps. "I doubt this is the end. It would be too easy."
[20:37] * Yuki` closes her eyes for a bit to keep her stomach from spinning.
[20:39] * Yuki` will eventually, slowly, stand back up.
[20:40] <GM|> ((Back))
[20:41] <GM|> *Yuki is finally able to recover - but there are still only two ways to go unless you can fly, Down or Up.
[20:41] * Raoul will glance up, first, to make sure this isn't simply a well of some kind. If there's nothing directly above the pit, he'll toss a rock down and listen.
[20:42] <Nikolai> "Well, I think down is they way to go."
[20:42] <GM|> *There is no rock available - unless you want to throw an inventory item?
[20:42] <Nikolai> ((Can I IM a small rock?))
[20:42] * Raoul is surprised by the lack of pebbles.
[20:43] <Nikolai> ((I can make meteorites I mean))
[20:43] <GM|> ((Meteor?  Sure.  4MP))
[20:43] * Nikolai conjures a small rock and drops it into the pit.
[20:44] <GM|> *It vanishes below what you think is the distance to the stone ring that the stairs are leading too.
[20:44] <Nikolai> "Hmm."
[20:45] <Yuki`> "...I guess we walk, then?"
[20:46] <Nikolai> "Guess so."
[20:46] <Raoul> "Not much choice in the matter..."
[20:47] <GM|> *You descend down the stairs, and eventually pass the unmarked stone ring back into the solid gutrock from before..
[20:48] <GM|> *The stairs are more conventional here, and you quickly emerge into a large vaulted room, with wicked jagged spikes on the roof, some 30 feet ahead of you.  There is dust on the floor, save patches where there is none.

[21:00] <GM|> *Nothing happens
[21:01] <Uileam> "Any other ideas?"
[21:01] * Raoul looks around. Is there some kind of control mechanism, or other workings?
[21:01] <GM|> *Not that you can see
[21:02] <GM|> *Just a room, holes and spikes
[21:03] <Yuki`> "Maybe if we step on the areas where they're aren't holes? ...or where there are holes?"
[21:04] <Nikolai> "Ok, get a potion ready or something."
[21:04] * Nikolai steps on a hole, ready to Escape back to safe zone if something starts to fall on him.
[21:05] <Raoul> ((Wouldn't that be a good thing for Reset?))
[21:05] <GM|> *Nope.  Nothing happens.  In fact, Nikolai steps on three or four holes, they're that numerous.
[21:05] <Raoul> ((Though that doesn't let you choose a new action, does it.))
[21:05] <Nikolai> ((nope.))
[21:08] <GM|> *Well, Nikolai is in the room proper, and nothing is happening.
[21:09] <Nikolai> "... Let's just cross, if we stay close I can Teleport us away."
[21:09] <Yuki`> "Okay, then."  Yuki takes a tentative step on the floor, right where Nikolai went.

[21:10] * Uileam tip-aw hell.

[21:10] * Nikolai Teleports back to the entrance without even thinking about, bringing the party with.
[21:11] <GM|> *A couple moments later, a draft roars through the room...  Upwards.
[21:11] <GM|> *And then stops.
[21:12] * Yuki` blinks as she gets teleported back. "Wh- ...wind. I guess we step where they're aren't holes. Or one at a time."
[21:12] <Nikolai> ((Can I see the opposite end of the room?))
[21:13] <GM|> ((Yes))
[21:13] <GM|> ((It looks to be about 35m away))
[21:13] <Nikolai> ((How far is it? And what's the exit like?))
[21:13] <Nikolai> ((Ahh))
[21:14] <GM|> ((The exit looks normal))
[21:14] * Nikolai blinks, and Teleports the entire party over into the exit, well past spike holes.
[21:14] <Nikolai> "Dunno why I didn't do this right away."
[21:14] <GM|> *Nikolai's teleport lands short, exactly in the middle.
[21:14] <GM|> *click*
[21:15] <Raoul> ((...))
[21:15] <Nikolai> ((...what))
[21:15] * Raoul cracks a Warp Stone, and takes the party back!
[21:15] <Uileam> (Isn't Teleport MAG meters?)
[21:15] <Nikolai> ((Mag x5))
[21:15] <Raoul> ((Yeah. Heck, I could do that with the stone.))
[21:15] <Nikolai> ((it's 90 meters))
[21:16] <GM|> *Nikolai's teleport seems to have hit a wall, as odd as that sounds.  At least Raoul is fast enough to get them all back before another torrent of wind arrives.
[21:16] <Nikolai> "Damn."
[21:16] <Uileam> "This is going smoothly."
[21:17] <Raoul> "I knew I had these stones for a reason."
[21:17] * Yuki` sighs to herself. "Okay, I have a warp stone, too. How about I try going alone, see what happens. If I hear a click, I warp back."
[21:18] <Yuki`> "And nobody follows until I make it across or I have to warp back."
[21:19] <GM|> ((When you're ready))
[21:19] * Yuki` takes out a warp stone, and tries going across, avoiding the holes if she can.
[21:19] <GM|> *Yuki carefully walks across the room - and nothing happens to her.
[21:19] <GM|> *Yuki is now at one end, with the party at the other.
[21:20] <Nikolai> "..."
[21:20] <Yuki`> "Maybe with too many on at once, it goes off.  Like a weight thing."
[21:20] <Raoul> "Insidious."
[21:20] * Nikolai walks across similarily, stepping on empty spaces.
[21:21] <GM|> *Nikolai can find no real empty spaces, but makes it across in one piece.
[21:22] <Nikolai> "... So I feel ridiculous."
[21:23] * Raoul walks across now.
[21:23] <GM|> *Raoul crosses!
[21:23] <GM|> *Aislinn crosses as well, once Raoul is done.
[21:24] <Uileam> "This can't end well," he mutters, taking a tentative step.
[21:24] <GM|> *Nothing happens to Uileam
[21:26] <GM|> *Once everyone is safely across, they can see that the new corridor is straight and very long, with deep alcoves starting about 3 meters in.
[21:26] <Uileam> "The fates do have a sense of humor, it would seem..."
[21:26] <Nikolai> "...Keep on the lookout, then..."
[21:27] <Uileam> (I gotta peace out at midnight, by the by._
[21:27] <Uileam> )
[21:27] <Yuki`> "...I really hate this place."
[21:27] <GM|> *As you proceed, you see in the alcoves Iron Maidens, all open and with very sharp and shiney spikes.  They are all set back from the main corridor.
[21:27] <Raoul> ((Same here, as always. Blargh.))
[21:28] <GM|> ((I can call it here for now, and pick up next week.))
[21:28] <Nikolai> "... Oh god."
[21:28] <Uileam> (I think we've enough unease for one week. <.<)
[21:29] <Yuki`> ((I'm okay with a calling around here.))
[21:29] <GM|> ((Any one else want to call it an evening to steady their hearts?))
[21:29] <Nikolai> ((yeah))
