As the party gets ready to leave, Patrick takes one last glance at the room. As he heads back out, he notices that a spot next to the door looks odd. Examining it, he sees that it's a hidden compartment that holds two buttons inside.

So if this is public knowledge, can I just go push the buttons? If so I'll stand enough away from where the floor opened up and try to push them with an arrow...

"yea Patty... now, let's see here..."

(Yeah, this is public knowledge since BB is out for a while...)

You can just reach around the doorway to get to the buttons, but...

Pressing the second button causes the floor to slide open, revealing a 10' square room below, filled with some blackish liquid and Cugel blinking as light comes down from above.

"Well then, let's throw him down a rope an pull him up! Keep that torch away though - that black stuff could be flammable...:eek:"

Can we maneuver to get down the passageway? (since the floor slid open, is there enough room to walk that way?)

Cugel comes up out of the pit.

Experimentation shows that the first button closes the floor and disables the trap.

"Rondo, from the scent, I'd hazard that this stuff is flammable. I'm not sure what its purpose was though, since it seemed to have stopped rising after a while. I also found an unlit torch down there. I don't know how it got there."

OOC: Spidey, I believe I'll check how many arrows I have left to see if I lost any down there. And I thought someone had the healing potions, but I don't recall who that was. The fall damaged me--I forget how much, but it was a lot...

(While still pondering the passage way, Si'Nat walks over and craftily fills two ink wells with the fluid...)

uses the rope if needed...

Cugel checks his equipment and finds he has 14 arrows left.

(I can't remember who has the potions either - I forgot to write them down - but I know the party has used one out of 2)

Si'Nat lowers himself into the pit and fills the ink wells with the fluid, then climbs back up.

"Does anyone have an idea of what this stuff might be?"

OOC: Only one left, eh? Well, how badly damaged is everyone?

*We need to rest a minute anyways, so we can check our wounds, bandage as neccessary, and change bandages, etc., while we do.*

(You do, it's actually been more than 5 turns, I think)

So the party rests up in the chalkboard room. Nothing comes by to disturb you.

*Great Spidey, but we were actually looking to take stock of our health situation as well...;)*

(I thought you guys would each chime in on how you're feeling... sorry.

I think Rondo took the brunt of a lot of attacks and had to drink a healing potion. A couple others have a few scrapes and cuts, but nothing serious or life-threatening right now)

(does that mean we are ready to proceed and whup more tail? with the mention of just cuts and scrapes - is Cugel taking the last potion or do we save it?)
