The group overtime all touch the monolith arriving in the lit up cavern with Thokk. You're on a small island with two monoliths on it. The room is very hot on account of the lava surrounding you.

OOC: Apologies Renn, I meant you and not Julien. I caught the mistake but forgot to fix it before posting!

*I've been following along, just didn't know what to do. So did we teleport twice, from island to cave to other island? *

Thokk will scream in frustration “What is happening? Who is doing this to us? Is it that old gnome? Is it one of the people whose names are written on the monolith? Is it you, HAIKO?!”

He half-expects to get an answer from somewhere, as if someone is watching them. 

As you get frustrated, Thokk, your skin begins to change to a vibrant red. 5 minutes, 10 minutes go by there doesn't seem to be any response to your questioning. Just the sound of lava moving throughout the area.

OOC: You've teleported three times. Once from the wall to the building in the cave. Then from the monolith in the cave to a monolith on the tropical island then from that monolith to a monolith on a small island in the middle of a lava lake in a small cavern.

It's a little hot in here I am use to it being cold. but let's assume these two monoliths both do the same as the others so both would take us to another area I'd assume maybe one of these might bring us back to a location we been to possible? why don't we go to the one to the left if that is okay?

"I see no better option." Thokk nods in agreement, a bit calmer now.

"We might want to start writing this stuff down."

There are two monoliths on this small island; the one you're standing next to and the one on the other. I'm going to assume the one on the left is the one further from you.

The monolith you're standing next to has 5 names on it.

Haiko
Korinna
Javen
Jahiem
Ulric

The monolith on the other side has 4 names on it.

Haiko
Korinna
Javen
Jahiem

Which one are you guys considering the left monolith? The one you came from or the one to the east with four names on it.

You're beginning to notice a pattern here. A monolith with a certain number of names brings you to a monolith with the same amount of names, with another monolith near it with one fewer name.

(OOC: I assumed "Left" referred to the one we did not come from).

Touching the monolith provides another quick pulse of light as you vanish from sight of the rest of the group. One by one you all arrive in a long narrow hallway. The hallway is man-made appears to be 200' or so long with torches about every 15'. On your end is of course, a monolith with four names on it and on the other is another large monolith. The floor is made up of many rather large gems. Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Topaz, Malachite, Opal, Quartz. The torch light bounces off the gems creating a rather beautiful sight all throughout the hallway.

OOC: gotcha

Julien will walk around the hall inspecting the floor and walls, looking for anything else of interest, mostly doorways, or some other way of leaving the hallway besides the monoliths.

Investigation: 15

**oof**

Thokk concludes: "Perhaps we should simply keep going until we are reduced to one or even no name on a monolith..."

Sounds like a plan Bastmao agrees

We keep going towards the next monolith.

Julien will keep going too
