"The Hall of Tricks if fine Lady Pyscala. Let us end these scum who dare to enter this sacred ralem!" Ivellios will turn to Quinton and Lari "She asked us to deal with another Hall as this area is her home, she has the advantage here. Let us quickly check our gear and be off, it seems another guardian is in combat already and my need our help."
OOC: Yes a long rest has been completed, Pyscala has been speaking common by the way. Experience points for leading Rosie to the flowers: 275 for everyone.
"Don't know. Falsse god they speak of. Winged one maybe. Doesn't matter. They sseek to de-throne the Lady. Feel the earth sshake? She iss not happy. They sshall learn. They sshall regret. They sshall bow or they sshall fall to this oness fangss."
Pyscala unwraps herself from the cultist who falls and lays limply on the ground. She turns to the north barrier and utters a word. The barrier flickers and disappears. She slithers forward, turns back to the rest of you, her large form filling up nearly the entire space between the shelves.
"Follow when ready. It is not eassy to get losst from here." Her form then disappears from sight, turning around the left corner.
Lari snaps his book shut with an exasperated sigh and gives up on casting his spell. "Ready?" He asks the others as he stuffs the spell book back into his pack.

The party follows Pyscala through the halls, her movements quick and fluid despite her blindess and the difficultly that the water might impose. At some point she speeds up, causing you all to chase, each time turning a corner only to see her tail disappear around another. After what feels like 30 minutes, you reach the end of the maze. Before you stands two red doors and next to each door is a statue of a woman both holding a swords pointed downwards. One statue is draped in red cloth and the other is covered in blue. Hanging on the wall in between the doors is a large shield.
"Farewell young ember-hiss, til we meet again."
Looking around you see that Pyscala is gone, a long tail can be seen retreating over one of the bookshelves. As it vanishes over the top you hear the distant screams of some what might be cultists.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"I don't envy those guys." Lari says as he watches her disappear and hears the screams. He then moves to investigate the blue cloth statue. He touches the cloth, gauging its worth. Investigation: 15.

As Lari reaches out to touch the blue statue its eyes suddenly open, face turning to stare directly at him.(OOC: The cloth looks very fancy but not that expensive, by the way.)
"Who seeks to enter our Hall?" A feminine voice asks, the sound resonating from the stone. Then there's the sound of stone grinding against stone as the red woman awakens and turns to stare at Lari as well.
"Who wishes to walk our path?" The same voice asks but this time coming from the red woman.
"If you want to enter,""-you must pass our trial""-and be judged worthy.""Our path is not an easy one to walk.""If you are not worthy you shall not enter," "-and instead be shall be punished as most interlopers are.""So speak now." "Who are you?"
Byg'wygg as you touch the shield you watch your image shimmer for a second in the reflection. It is very smooth and cold beneath your fingers even within the heat of Pyscala's room.
Byg’wigg replies, “Byg’wigg is Byg’wigg. Byg’wigg King. Choosed person of snake lady. Fantastic handsome kobold.” Without taking his eyes off the shield while he makes a variety of poses in it.

Lari smiles at the classic riddle and confidently asks a question to the blue statue in front of him. "If I asked the other statue which way leads to doom, which way would it pick?"

[is the shield big enough to be of use?]
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAThe shield is too big to used (its about as tall as Byg'ywgg) and seems to be mounted to the wall. The surface is reflective like a mirror.

"The left door." The statue responds curtly.
"Left it is! After you my king." Lari gives a sweeping bow towards Byg'wigg and gestures to the left door.
