You can tell only that you are very deep, so deep that you have never been at this depth. An examination of the door shows no mechanics at all, no noticeable hinge, handle, or lock. |

Looking at Dalanath, right now i would say a lot is wrong with some of the people in here. Didn't catch what you said earlier I was too busy trying to figure out how crazy these people are. Sad to say I think I trust the goblin more than the other two right now. I need to find my shit and we all need to get the hell out of here, you got any thoughts on doing that? Looks like... Frank pauses for a moment trying to recall the goblin's name Terek is trying to find another way besides the door. Name is Frank by the way. Give me a minute and i'll figure out if Chauser is right.
Frank concentrates for a few moments, looks puzzled and does it again. Well Jelly man you're righter than you think. We are deep as shit under ground. Hell if we dig down we may pop out the other side. I doubt even the Duergar go this deep.

Deep as 'shit', eh? Just the type of thing an otyugh would be behind.
Anyway, looks like the door's safe... provided we can get it open. And there isn't any hideous logic-defying abomination on the other sideChauser takes a minute to concentrate (and 20), then kicks at the door with all his strength. 1d3+3d6+4=18 damage

At the point right before your fist would have struck the door, the runes flare up, and a pulse of light passes from the door’s side to the edge of the carvings. When it reaches the end of the lines, it starts to speed up, heading back towards the door, disappearing at the door’s edge. You are then suddenly blown back a step and your fist stings something fierce. |

The flash of light from the door finally woke up the young man. Wiping away a bit of drool from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, he sits up noticing that his hand is not gloved and he seems to be wearing rags. Deep blue eyes look about the group of other individuals before scanning along the room.
"Does anyone know what happened? Or where we are? Or where our equipment is? I do not remember anything.... Is anyone injured?"

Short version is we don't have a fucking clue what happened or where our shit is. We do have a fucking clue where we are, so far under ground we could fall out the other side. No one has complained about being hurt but that one just punched the stone so his hand could be fucked up. Points to Chauser.

Suddenly there is a pop, and a small imp appears in the room, “Ah, you are all awake, good, very good.” It said with a Transylvanian accent. Scanning the room it spoke some more, “You are a rather sorry lot, but maybe my master will be entertained by that.”

I recognize the accent! You're a servant of the Otyugh Overlords! I knew those fangily bastards were plotting something!

The imp’s eyes narrowed at Chauser, “I would destroy you where you stand for that slight, if not for my master’s orders. Now if you would sit your impudent ass down, I will tell you why you are here.”

"Otyugh Overlords?" He askes looking to Chauser before his gaze shifts to the imp.
"So we are to be entertainment for your master then? What sort of 'entertainment"?"

Dalanath politely sits down while his psicrystal skitters over to the imp.

Galon crouchs down (how he does this without impaling his thighs on his calf-spines you don't know) and looks with mild interest at the imp "So why are we here?"

Chauser leans back against a stalactite. He's tall.
Is this by chance some sort of horrific bloodsport with little chance of survival for anyone concerned?

Ignoring the rudeness of the dwarf, the imp starts to explain, “You and others were selected for a sort of competition. The prize of which will be no less than your life, freedom, and whatever you can carry with you. There is but one stipulation, only six may leave.” It pauses for a moment, reaches into a tiny pouch on its hip, and pulled out six strands of 36 small orbs, some of which were glowing. “These will be your indication of how many yet live. Once put on, they cannot be taken off. If you find the exit, you will be able to pass only if six or less stones are alight.”

So, are we grouped up by team or something? If you put a paladin in the same room as a cleric of Orcus we wouldn't be seeing full lights, right?

"And I imagine that should we decide not to participate, we would be killed, correct?" He says to the imp with a frown.
