Tarnce stands, plate armor dented, warhammer hanging off his waist. "What in the nine hells is this supposed to be saying?!"
The goliath looks deeply frustrated at the riddles. Shield at his side, free hand following along on the words as he re-reads them.
Tarnce looks up to see a group coming down one of the corridors from behind the wall of force. An elf in studded leather and shield, a young human girl in leather armour, a human man in plate, a half-elf in studded leather and a human man in no armour who holds a staff.
(You have to say the word again to drop the force field so you can leave)
Fah'lin comes back into the intersection discussing the first riddle with Thar. "I'm certain 'Love' is the right answer, it's the wall that's got the answer wrong. So what does a wall think is the answer."
[edit:] When he bumps into the force field he grumbles and says the word again "ee!"
He's surprised to find another adventurer in the clearing when they arrive. "You look like you had a rough time getting here." Fah'lin sniffs the air the way he does with his Divine Senses.
"He's not a Vampire Spawn." Fah'lin says to the party, "Nor god or fiend." He adds. "What brings you to this foul place?" He looks over the new comer. "If the wall gets the riddle wrong some monster will come knocking."
Tarnce looks up quickly. "Oh. I am here on a religous journey. Great evil is rising and I have been tasked with quelling it." Tarnce looks at the group through the forcefield and back yo the wall.
"You all solved this cursed script? I have been here for hours and nothing has come to mind."

"You all solved this cursed script? I have been here for hours and nothing has come to mind."
Arya “Glad to meet you. Yes evil is rising. Nobody here made it rise. It’s rising all by itself.” She pats you on the back. Sleight of Hand12 She holds up a pair of carved stones “What are these?”

Tarnce Jumps in surprise at her holding his sacred stones. "Were those dropped?" He quickly scans the ground for any other gear that may have fallen off his person. Then reaches out with an open plam to Arya "These are my stones. They are very useful for keeping in touch with friends and traveling companions." Tarnce looks slightly embarrassed for a moment "An area I find myself lacking in."

Fah'lin's patron has granted him the ability to cast False Life without consuming a spell slot. He practices casting it. He practices casting it several times. (He casts it until he receives the maximum benefit of 8 hp)
Fah’lin says the word and the wall disappears, ahead is a 10’ wide corridor running north. It slopes down and is quickly covered with water about 1’ deep. At the 30’ mark there is an opening on the east wall that opens into small circular area where the water is obviously much deeper.
Arya immediately starts complaining “The last time this happened I had a perfectly good pair of boots ruined.”
"Thank you.." Tarnce trails off realizing he didn't get any of their names other than Arya. Remembering she has his stones "May I have those back? They are very important."

Arya gives the stones back. Thar the human wizard introduces himself (his owner is on holiday with his family for a couple of weeks)
Fah'lin shakes the Goliath's hand. He wears Plate armor with Rare fine details. He carries a Shield that would certainly be dented and chipped for all the hits its taken, if not for the magic infused into it by Thar while they were at the Forge of Souls. It bears the symbol of Helm, The Watcher. In the other hand he carries a pole for a weapon. The Quarterstaff was a good solid, and sturdy piece even before it got the same treatment as his shield.
He's a young tall man, in his mind twenties with dark hair and Blue eyes. His armor fits him well revealing his light weight. A man with his light build would normally struggle to wear such armor. Though he is not weak he doesn't have the bulk common in heavily armored warriors.
"Fah'lin," he says "Fah'lin Cowbberkayj, and that's Aeliarin, he's a bit quiet," he gestures to the Sorcerer, and the Fighter, "and Gijigume in the water there trying out his new toy, and of course the beloved Owly," he says indicating Arya's bird.
To Gijigume he says, "You're the one in the most danger. It's up to you. Want me to try and open it from here?" (I probably can't)
Arya also introduces herself "I'm Arya (yes, named after that Arya) and am the party sneak. Before I met these weirdos I killed people for a living..." she lets that just hang there.

If we're gonna slip out can we see what's in the safe?
(Or was that included in the loot?)

Oops. Arya gets out her tools and removes the trap 25. You find 6,000 sp and one piece of jewelry worth 3,000 gp.

Oops again. Also forgot about the reward (10,000) for Sir Bluto Sans Pite and all that plate armour.

Arya “Dropped? Not really. Anyway... we may not be friends, yet. But we can travel together. We still have to work out the other two riddles
Passage 1
”Of no use to one
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie for it.
The old man has to buy it.“
Passage 2
”I have rivers without water,
Forests without trees,
Mountains without rocks
Towns without houses.“
We’ve already got the first one wrong once.”
"We didn't get it wrong. The wall did."
Fah'lin tries the second passage, "Map!"

"Looks like a job for me to lead on," states Gijigume, heading forward subtlely as far as is necessary to see into the side room.
OOC: Stealth 18. Thinking he might branch into rogue in the future.

Gijigume brings up the hood of his cloak and enters the alcove, the water is 10’ deep and on the bottom is a wheel connected to a valve.
Gijigume resurfaces and lets the others know what he's found. "Shall I give it a twist and see whether the water comes in or goes out?" he asks.
