OOC: No fair living in the West Coast and getting outta school at 2!!
Anyway, I'll like to include myself in the last "everyone did this" posts, yeah!

IC: Alex refreshed himself with that strange water, the last minutes had passed like a bad dream, but now being in touch with his element gave him strength
"Yawn! All right! To much for a rest, let's get going"
OOC: How much Hp do I have left? Oh! and by the way, have you noticed my new avatar? it's Alex's family emblem

No; I didn't plan this stuff, but enough people RPed their characters' hunger that I threw it in there.

OOC: There's also the jug of water Raven found, though...?

IC: Arco nods, standing, as he shakes out his hands. Some of the water splashes on someone (let's just say... Blank!) whom the Bard glances at apologetically. He wonders once more if the red-haired man is alright with all of those cuts from the rocks...

After ruminating on this, Arco steps back from the water and peers down the hallway intently... <awareness>

OOC: Cool emblem. Did you make it yourself?

OOC: omg guys, I missed 5 whole pages. This sucks. But oh well, a rolling stone gathers no dust.

IC: Dogura had been quiet through most of the journey. He realized how low thier life expectancy was in this place. Especially when using a small daggar. He knew hi father would have been shamed of him, because he had provided little for the group, other than slowing them down. He hadnt even noticed some of the monsters, because he was so deep in thought. He was just beginning to realize how thin the line was between life and death. He hadnt anything to do, but to press onward, and hope to see the shining sun of hyruie once again.

OOC:

There's also the jug of water Raven found, though...?

Again, just a random idea.

IC:
Arco's Awareness check fails (9+3[Roll+INT] vs. 15). The bard searches through the room before realizing that there really isn't anything of note other than what has already been seen (OOC: seriously, even if you did succeed, I don't know what I would show you...wait, you're talking about the water-filled room, right?).

OOC: Well, was thinking about the hallway; doesn't matter, just wanted to liven things up a little beyond "Arco glances down the hallway." ^^

Oh, and I only just noticed that there isn't necessarily a hallway at all, just a "doorway." Sorry about that ><.

IC: Arco takes a few deep breaths before shifting his weight forward and allowing his lilting gait to take him through the new doorway. He glances backwards for an affirmation that pressing forward is the order of the moment...

Through the doorway is a relatively simple room. This room returns to the all white format, with white walls and tiles. The only odd thing about the room is a rushing waterfall on the other side of the room, which drains into a large hole in the floor. If you were to look in the hole, you would see it descending down two floors, a death drop to anyone stupid enough to jump into it (Kasei...don't even think about it...).

There is another door on your right.

So many water made Alex think "Are we underwater?" the thought didn't alarm him, after all he was a Zora, but just imagining all this structure being under tons of water, it would be impressive...
"Looks like a one way room" he slowly pulled(or pushed) the door just enough to have a sneak peek...

Unfortunately, Alex's turning of the door's handle results in a trap being sprung. Metal bars fall over both doorways, making it so neither can open. Suddenly, a metal panel slides over the hole the waterfall is draining into. The room immediately begins to flood.

Alex will be fine, but the others will have a good deal of difficulty surviving unless they can find a way to get the hole opened again.

Arco gasps as the bars slam down, and then rushes forward, to the waterfall. He ducks his head forward and folds his arms over his head, trying to plunge through the falling torrent in an attempt to see if there's anything behind it. A breakable wall, a switch, an inscription, anything...

OOC: "Fool of a took!" he cried.

Alex immediate realizes the trouble he put everyone into
OOC: Activated disarm trap
IC: "Everyone! Get rid of your heavy items!" he focuses "Elemental burst Fire!"
Alex heats his hand on grabs the metal bars, hoping to melt them

Dogura thought furiously of a way to escape. Thinking was his strong point, so he turned thoughts inside out. Damn... Bombs wont light underwater. We would need a giant hammer. He emediately thought of Eximus, but shook the thought. They had to get out fast. Dogura created a telepathic link with his allys, so they could all speak with eachother through thoughts."Perhaps we could plug the source of the water with something!" He yelled to shada. "We have to thing of something fast!!"

Rose was about to suggust that Shada freeze the source of the water, but she remembered the fish breaking through the ice. A waterfall would definitely break through. "Damn," she said. "I can't think of anything to plug the hole with. Maybe there's a switch somewhere in the room."

At this point, the water is at knee-high level.

Unfortunately, since the trap has already been sprung, and was not detected before hand with an Awareness Check, there is no way for Alex to Disarm it.

The waterfall pushes Arco down to the floor, dunking him only a little. If you were to get through the falls, you'd probably have to wait until the water is deep enough to swim in.

Alex's Burst fails to do anything more than light up all metal in the room...including a small plaque immediately above the doorway. It reads, "Ev ges boors, frekk greeast ed ges posk gac ges Troke." You have to find some way to translate whatever it says; otherwise, things could go very badly for you all.

Alex: 18 HP, 0 SPL

OOC: Now you guys see why I allowed SL to join late...I was hoping he'd be here for this one...

Dogura's thoughts were for naught, as the water continued to rise. In his past adventures, and eye was usually spotted around the room, waiting to be penetraited with arrow. But no switches were found. Dogura thought hard through all the books he had read, but found nothing in his memory. It cant end here. Dogura thought. It just cant. He thought harder than ever before as he tried to calculate an answer. It was in another language, but what language? "Ev ges boors, frekk greeast ed ges posk gac ges Troke." What could that meen? He tried hard to tap into the mind of a Hakiem that may be lurking nearby, but found no trace of any life. Perhaps we could find a crack in the wall. Does anyone know the talent dig? He sent the thought to everyone in the room hoping to the godesses that something no short a miracle would befall them.

Arco tumbles away from the fall, breathing heavily, and throws his glance up in time to see the plaque.

Ev ges boors, frekk greeast ed ges posk gac ges Troke...

"!?" he gasps, pulling himself off the ground. Dripping, he tries to get a closer look at the words, and furiously tries to see if anything he remembers from his days underground in Death Mountain would come in handy now... <Translate Check>

"Everyone," he says urgently in his flat baritone, "Most of us probably don't know Infernal, or whatever that is, but try to translate that. You never know..."

He turns his head to Dogura, hearing the telepathic comment about Dig. I can, he replies silently, But I don't think these walls are going to give. Not with the time or lack thereof we've got now.
