After holding back for much of the fight, Rohesia follows the others back to the room with the levers. "I'm fine with the gems, if someone wants the wand," she says. Once back in the room she looks again at the colored gems. "I can't think of any connection between the blue and what we found. What color was it on to start? Or was it on one?" She shrugs, "Best to just pick randomly."
"I think it was on purple? Yeah! It was purple!"Athyra says, "You want a random color? All right then!"She rushes over to the levers, and pulls the black one so it is lined up with the red gem, then pulls the white lever so it is lined up with the black lever.
The door closes and the room once more begins to spin and slide through the Spire, eventually coming to rest at a door with a red gem over it, and the door slides open. You see a large, cathedral like room beyond the door. There are murals painted on the walls and 10 large red focusing crystals lining either side of the room, two of which have been shaken loose from their housing structure and are strewn about the floor. At the end of this chamber, full of coffins in various states of disrepair, is a large sarcophagus, and behind it a throne built from bones. Sitting on the edge of it is a gaunt man, all knees and elbows, drinking from a silver goblet. He peers at you through a curtain of stringy silver hair, his green eyes glimmering with a unearthly light. In a silken voice he says,"Ah yes, my saviors. Thank you for securing my exit from this wrenched place. I've been trying for decades to figure a way out of the cursed contraption."He lazily kicks the coffin below him."Earthquakes. You've got to love 'em. Of course, if it weren't for a chance thunderstorm and a bit of lightening I managed to divert from its path, who knows how long I would have been trapped in this purgatory?"He looks around at the party lazily, a bit of wine sloshing down the front of his oldy silken blouse."You did come to save me, correct? And pledge you service to me in return for the secrets to eternal life? Or am I going to have to kill the whole bally lot of you?"
Athyra panics for a moment and pulls the levers again, putting them on whatever color is after red. Why did she pick red? Why was that the first one to come to mind!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Eternal life, pah, you would need something more enticing to gain my service at least."Etrigan scoffs. "You just stay there and think over your offer and we will discuss this. I promise we will be back soon." He says with a bow to the gaunt man, most likely this tiresome wizard that was supposed to be held down here.

(According to post #181 the order was red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. We started at purple, visited blue and then went all the way to red. I assume by going to red we went to the end of the line so to speak but there was no real way of knowing that I think. Hopefully we can close the door again and calmly look through the other sections while we decide how to deal with Lord Tiresome Belovaar.)
As the room spins then ends up opening to the cathedral-like room, Rohesia watches the strange stringy-haired man warily, even taking a small step back. "He seems a bit unpleasant," she states under her breath. Not taking her eyes off of him, she hopes that Athyra manages to get the room spinning elsewhere quickly.
The strange man just gives you all an odd smile as you hurry back into the moonlit chamber and slam the door shut. Unfortunately, Athyra was too hasty in her shutting the door for you to get a good read on his reaction to you, Etrigan, but he didn't seem the slight bit bothered by you all one way or another.
The green gems light up and the door slides open once more, this time to another smaller chamber with two zombies shuffling over the corpse of a member of the Order of the Ochre Eye!
(go ahead and roll initiative and your initial actions)
Etrigan sighs and swiftly places his hex on the closest zombie (Hex, dex) before turning the black rod with purple veins against it, unleashing two beams of purple crackling force.
Rohesia decides to stay back a bit this time, pulling out her sling. She moves to get within 30 ft. of the closest zombie and launches an attack. (Sling Attack: 13 Damage: 4) (Sling Attack: 9 Damage: 3)
Once more your attacks strike true, sending the first zombie to the ground under a barrage of eldritch energy! The second zombie gets a smattering of hits but continues to wobble its way towards you, reaching out at Athyra and managing a solid swipe at her for 7 damage!
"Ah come on!" Athyra yells as the Zombie swipes at her, Pulling out one of her Shortswords, as she is unable to put her bow away fast enough, she slashes at the zombie.

Rohesia slips the sling away, charging forward to meet the last zombie. She swings at it with both fists. (Unarmed Attack: Attack: 10 Damage: 6) (Unarmed Attack: Attack: 23 Damage: 12)
"You stubborn..." Etrigan growls and swiftly places his hex on the last zombie (Hex, dex) before turning the black rod with purple veins against it, unleashing another two beams of purple crackling force.
(Ok, I'll give him about 3hrs, that's about when I'll be back on.)

Unfortunately, Athyra was too hasty in her shutting the door for you to get a good read on his reaction to you, Etrigan, but he didn't seem the slight bit bothered by you all one way or another.
Well, let's say she positioned the levers to open the green door.
"Few! That could have been bad!" Athyra says, "I at least want to take a break before we try to beat that guy up...."
The green gems light up and the door slides open once more, this time to another smaller chamber with two zombies shuffling over the corpse of a member of the Order of the Ochre Eye!

The zombie gets pummeled hard and also finally gets put down in a rotting heap, leaving you all with the other corpse of the member of the order.

"I hate Zombies," Athyra grumbles. She walks over to the corpse, and starts examining it.
