Episode Eighty-eight - Lost in the Tomb of Horrors
General Summary
Part One
They knew what must be done, little choice was left. Raven hid under Arion's makeshift door covering and depressed all seven pins at once. The door fell open and then the entire group were escorted in. They all started searching the hall beyond and found it filled with humanoid figures holding spheres of different colors. As Arion tapped about the floor looking for pits, they realized that they must either take the portal at the end of the hall or turn back but Arion wasn't satisfied. He attempted to break the wall where the hall used to be and realized that the block sphere was an illusion. Testing also pale blue, silver, and gold, they found only gold to be an illusion. Arion then had Sol send in his familiar and found that it was just covering what had become a crawl space to a small room he'd visited before. Crawling in himself, Arion found a statue of a four armed gargoyle and took his old piton, which he'd left in the wall, out. Back in the hall, they had the owl fly in the black sphere but Sol lost contact with it. After sticking hand and a spear in to a depth of about two feet, they decided to enter as Sol cited the poem they'd found in the first hall. Sol offered only one thought, they they might need to try indigo instead as Raven offered that it should be green. Arion then entered and was not heard from. Several more followed him but Annabelle begged everyone to stop. Jorg, trusting Raven and professing his admiration for her, tried green and did not return from it. Still wrapped up in the puzzle, Sol convinced the rest of the party to go through black, grasping one another's legs as Jorg returned, naked. Jorg then refused to enter the hole and Raven went so far as to concedeHaving betrayed her trust, Jorg then allowed a single tear to flow. Knowing he could not complete the dungeon alone, he left and returned once more to the Deep Road Inn and Tavern. Evermore he thought of his last words to Raven, "I'm sorry, I can't" And so it was, on that day, Aefdarnsday 4th of the Horse, 12,011 CE at exactly 6:42:11 PM, Jorg let go of Raven's leg and the Champions of Destiny died.Part Two
