[IC] Temple of Dorgan

[Neko]

Like usual, Sophie followed along behind the others, and waited as they examined the rooms. Mimic would flap his wings occasionally as Sophie had suggested. "I better get a nice reward for this later." Mimic teased, his voice echoing in Sophie's head. Sophie smiled and pet his feathered back. "Don't worry, I'll be sure to buy you some yummy food~." She assured him. Sophie then watched as Kin made an attempt to get into the chests. She was more than curious to know what was inside.

[Manzokushi]

He was not surprised by yet another worms presence. Some type of elemental crossing had occurred here. The question was if it was lured or simply invaded. And if either course were feasible then why? To what end? Well these musings along with others kept the elf deep in thought. He sluggishly followed behind distracted deep in thought. Perhaps this was not the best thing to be doing while attempting to protect their flank.

He shook his head clear of all of the rambling, it must be this god forsaken heat. Continuing to maintain his vigilance in case of intruders from behind. "No, I am not dead, but this heat will likely bake our insides if we have to stay here much longer." He spoke to no one specifically but in Sophie's direction being that she was the closest or Mimic.

[Throndir]

After the first strike, the chest was already broken, though not quite completely open. As Kin struck hard against the object the second time, the treasure chest exploded into pieces.

[Eireleen]

"An impressive reenactment of the tale of the Gordian Knot. Five stars to you, good sir." Her praise comes in an emotionless voice, making it difficult to tell if the sentiment is heartfelt or sarcastic. Meanwhile, she walks over to the northeast door, a few feet away. She ignores the treasure completely, focusing instead on finding a workable route through the temple. Her sweat had completely soaked her shawl, though she refused to take it off. Muttering another verse under her breath to renew her orison, she moves to the other door, attempting to open it silently as well.

Kin heard the sarcasm, as was expected, but he knew well enough she was happy to see the coins and riches roll. Going with the flow of what she said, he continues, "And now, on with the show!" As he steps up, taking a swing at the second chest.

Attack:  1d20+4 : 3 + 4, total 7

As Branwen attempts to open the northeast door, she realizes that the door is locked or stuck.

Smashing the other chest proved just as effective as the contents came spilling forth. You notice a few broken peices of glass flying after the results of Kin's bashing.

"...Won't budge..." She muttered, moving over to the next one. "If the dungeon's wings are symmetrical, then the magma room is our best bet, unfortunately." She wasn't looking forward to traversing that room. She could clear it easily, herself, with her magic. But her allies might not be so lucky. As annoying as the halfling was, she would much rather have Kin inbetween her and an angry worm than reduced to ash at the bottom of a pool of molten rock.

Slowly and carefully, as always, she opened the western door as silently as she could, getting a peek into the west hall.

Branwen stepped away with an annoyed sigh. "I suppose we'll have to cross the magma, then. Unless any of you think you can break through a stone door." She says, looking back at Kin. "It's far from an elegant solution. But those are our choices. We either risk waking up some more angry worms, or we risk jumping over a river of molten death."

[Linwelin]

"As tired as I am of them," Kin starts, "I'd rather take my chances with a monster. More interesting that way." Can't let them know I'm not sure if I could make the jump...that's too hard on the pride!

Kin walks over to the stone door, looking it over, seeing if it would even be possible to break it.

Spoiler

Not sure which skill to use to figure out the door. Gonna go with Appraise, because it seems like it would fit.

This dice roll has been tampered with!

You watch as the halfling examines the door, deciding on how hard or tough to break down the door would take.

Any who are watching see Kin practically stiffen up, going rigid. He then spins on his heel without a word, heading to the door with the magma behind it, "Guess we have to find a way over that pit!"

It's impossible with just me, and I don't even know if it's possible with everyone...Damn it all, now I have to get across the magma...A halfling? Jumping!? Gods this place has turned from fun to nightmarish!

With that he marches over and opens the door, only to be assailed by the extreme heat. "Eesh!" Kin almost immediately begins fanning his face with his hand as he peers inside to take a look for himself.

The heat was starting to create frustrations amongst everyone and it would only be a matter of time before tempers too took hold. With the news of a pit to possibly navigate over, that perked Jorn?s ears right up. This was finally a challenge something that could prove his worth and at the same time perhaps draw his companions together once again.

Jorn spoke evenly with a small amount of authority, ?Kin and Branwen, if you would, how much of an expanse are we having to traverse? I may have an idea and the ability to ensure our transition over the obstacle is at the very least a bit safer. So if you would leave the door open and let?s have a look at this crossing that we are going to commit to.?

The elf moved closer to Kin so that he could look over his shoulder and get a better picture of the difficulty at hand.

Upon seeing the room for himself now, Kin visibly shivered again. I...am NOT going to enjoy this...

"W-well, it seems to be about 10 feet wide." Dammit, I stuttered...calm, Kin, calm... "It's quite the jump and the lava is around waist-deep. I'm still thinking of how to get over it..." Better, but not good enough...

"Also, there are holes that have been bored into the walls, which could mean more worms, so we need to be careful. Hopefully they come out so we can just get it over with!" Kin says with a little more enthusiasm than he'd had before, seeming to be shaking off whatever had been bothering him.
