Zeli catches it effortlessly and gives you a wink. You all can safely make it across and into the room if you go at a safe pace.

Lythril looks intently, eyes catching the smallest detail, nothing escapes her unmatched intellect.

Yup, she affirms that the rope is tied. She proceeds across with care and investigates the room beyond dddoooOOooor number twooooooo!

Leon uses the rope to cross over and once he drops down to the other side, he gives Zeli a quick peck on the lips and moves to the next room.

Lyth, it's definately a door, alright.

However, beyond the door are four suits of rusted plate armor sans helmets, sized for a dwarf, standing in the corners of this 20-foot-high room. Each suit is draped in cobwebs. Dwarvish runes are carved into the far wall. The inscription reads, “A secret never before told will part Dumathoin’s lips.”

Dumathoin. Lythril, you know this dwarf to be the dwarven god of secrets. There is nothing else in this room that you guys can discern..except for the riddle?

 For the same reason you didn't recall me listing all of my prepared spells within a minute after I stated them out loud.  he quips back. But him being on this side was no longer really necessary since zelifarna had just done what he had came here to do.

Dani's face scrunched up "A secret never told? We're supposed to know the secrets of the gods now?"

"I think it means us, Dani." He refers to the group. "Anyone want to share something?"

Danitriel scratched her head. "What? Any secret? I'm not wearing any underwear today. Issat a secret?"

As sexy as that is, especially to Crispy, a loud annoying buzzer sounds off as if you answered a question wrong on a game show.

Also, Zeli gives you a surprised, curious look as if she dosent believe you.

Leon gives Dani a quizzical glance before looking around the group. "A secret never told before."

FC doesn’t dare cross without the rope. When he can, he scurries over.

“I... joined the Zhentarim, didnt I?” FC says with a huff, looking down at his shoes.

Danitriel gave FC a sympathetic look.

mmmm Lythril approaches a suit and whispers "I kissed a girl and I liked it."

She had never shared that secret, maybe it will do something?

Pheral approaches the statue that wants a secret. Gods i hope this works. She takes in a deep breath and says Part of me hopes my family never made it out of the fire that burned my village so that i never have to meet them and wounder what life would have been life if i had finished growing up with them.

THE VAULT OF DRAGONS

LOL Those were all good, truthfully.

A trapdoor opens behind the statue revealing a stairwell down past the first floor, and further down to a much lower level. You can see the glow of gold even from here, and your hearts race knowing you are so close. You descend the stairwell without incident.

Although deep underground, the vault is lit by streams of sunlight that pour down from the ceiling, catching motes of dust in their luminous pools. Ornate columns support a thirty-foot-high vaulted ceiling, which is adorned with carvings of dwarves basking in the presence of their gods. Deep alcoves line the walls, and piled in many of them are vast golden troves of gold and gems. It's more wealth that you've ever seen or imagined. You stand there at the bottom floor for a moment amazed. Zeli smiles, nods, and looks at Leon - excited that the rumors were true, and starts to say something when she noticed movement. 

Out of the dusty gloom steps the oldest dwarf you've ever seen, clutching a staff carved and painted to resemble a pair of entwined dragons — one red, one gold. Despite the dwarf’s age, his eyes are steady and bright, and his skin has a slight gold sheen to it. “Oh! I wasn’t expecting anyone,” he says plainly. “As you can see, the place is a mess. Perhaps you should come back later, after I’ve tidied up a bit.”

Immediately, for some reason, Zelifarna gasps and kneels, holding her head down low.

Astrid was just about to dive into a pile of gold and gems for another swim when she noticed Zeli’s bowing. Quickly realizing that this dwarven fellow must be a dragon in humanoid form, she mirrors Zeli by bowing deeply as well. 

Do I know anything about the legend of the dwarven dragon?

Leon couldn't help but smile at that glimmer behind Zeli's eyes before it falls and he hears a foreign voice, his head turning to its source. He blinks, his eyes darting from the dwarf to Zeli, quickly following her actions by kneeling himself, at the assumption he was a dragon as well.

"Please do not worry about the state of your, ah, home? Excuse me--" The half-elf gets back up from the ground. "It is quite nice to meet you, we are..." Leon wracks the back of his brain. The group never talked about a name for themselves, huh? "I am Leon, a pleasure, sir..." He trails off seeing if he could possibly know who this man is?

History(?): 11

If not, his last statement trails off, insinuating the dwarven man that he wished to know his name.

((ooc: leon needs to hit the books aparently, yikes.))

Dani didn't know why the two of them were bowing, but she followed suit, unfortunately she was still quite intoxicated and simply ended up falling on her face. "Owww..."

(Waiting for more posts then continuing)

Lythril kneels reverently, one fist upon the ground, the other over her heart, head bowed. There is little chance of her recalling who this might be but she recognizes Power when she sees it.
