Lawrance bends over to read some kind of script that no one else can see. There is a high pitched whining noise, and then the corridor fills with noise and light. An intense explosion radiates out from that point on the wall.
As the dust settles, the voice intones, "Hypothesis confirmed, Seven five one is making use of truesight or a similar effect. The others do not appear to have the same capability."
Mari and Poljen escape the explosion, Lawrance is close enough that he gets no save and suffers 32 force damage, everyone else gets a DC 17 reflex save to halve that.
Perry is walking alongside Shadowsnacks and the rest of the team. He is exhaling white frost breath into various shapes while humming a low tune to himself. He is wearing a stupid grin. Suddenly...
**BOOM**
"WAHHHHH!!!" Perry yelps as he covers his eyes and jumps back instinctively. When he opens his eyes and looks up, he sees large white wings enveloping him, shielding a majority of the blast. "Shadowsnacks? Shadowsnacks?! Are you alright, buddy?"
The pegasus looks bloodied, but weakly nuzzles against Perry's shoulder as it neighs softly. Perry hugs the heroic horse and simply says, "Thank you, my friend."
Perry Pennington makes a Dexterity Save! 1d20 (11) + 6 = 17
Cratol hears the blast and moves in a way only he can move and avoid all damage.
OOC Evasion on dexterity throws rolled a 16 +9 is 25 thus on dexterity saving throws if he saves he takes no damage if he fails he only takes half damage.
Poljen is following Mari closely, head swiveling back and forth, sure there is danger nearby. Even so, he is startled when there is an explosion behind him. He whirls, ready for anything, buyt as the smoke clears he sees everyone is alive, though some are singed a bit. Before he can say anything, the watcher makes a remark, presumably about Lawrance. The tall man finally shrugs and says, "I thought I was supposed to be the predictable one."
Mari hears the explosion and instintively dives for cover. Seeing that it stopped short of her snd Poljen , she looks back at her friends. " I didnt notice whatever that was. Lawrance, quit doing whatever you are doing or none of us will survive. "
Lia is walking along when the explosion catches her fully. The force slams her against one wall and the breath is knocked out of her. She stands up and wobbles a little as she can feel blood running down her face. A panic overtakes her. She pulls out her mirror and makes sure that her face isnt marred. Knowing that she cant take much more of this , she quickly asks Sune to knit her wounds up.
Slightly more than singed by the explosion that tore through his Magics, he shakes off the burst fragments of wall. %Curiousity burnt this cat. I shall be not so easily distracted next time. %
Shrugging at Mari, he ‘paths %Quite unexpected. I was hoping for guidance to our foe, not an explosion%

“Can you tell me the difference between a witch and a wizard?" "Sure, a wizard is what they call you when they want to hire you, and a witch is what they call you when they're getting ready to run you out of town.” SunWolf replied ― Barbara Hambly, The Witches of Wenshar
Velon grunts as he takes the full brunt of the unexpected explosion. He looks around for Lia and to make sure everyone is still standing. "What in the nine hells was that? Wizard! What did you do?"
The paladin pulls out a potion and drinks it down before asking "who else was hit?" "How is everyone doing?"
OOC Failed the save, drank a superior potion of healing.
%It was a trap, Velon, that only I could see apparently. That this foe is rather mobile and able to place such things on short notice tells us he has quick access somehow. And I'm subject 751. Lets' see if we can make our group the last numbers this 'scientist' ever uses.%
Taking much more care, Lawrance keeps a wary eye out for other traps or possible illusions, vowing to tell what he sees before looking closer at interesting finds.

The group proceeds on, reaching what was apparently once a watch tower. Once again, the way up appears to be sealed by ice. The passage takes a turn to the left and continues on. Eventually, another watch tower is reached, and to the left is what appears to have once been a barracks. The wide open room has racked beds lined up.
Lawrance's view of the room is quite different. He can't see a thing thanks to a thick white vapor that fills the area.
As the group reaches the room, Lawrance calls out mentally %Hang on, there's a white vapour filling the room completely. It's blocking my sight, so it may be just targeting my senses, but be careful. I can't tell what else it may do. % Turning of his Robe for the moment, he sees the room revealed properly, but is very wary.

Poljen looks to Velon. "Do we go in to see if there is a way further inside, or keep walking this hall?"
After Velon indicates that the big man should check it out he nods. He ties a rope about his waist and hands it to the paladin. "In case I fall down," he says with a grin. He then steps into the room a few paces, then takes a deep breath...
"Yeah, we have to try to get further in and find the throne room. Either you or I should check this room alone and see what happens, assuming we can convince the lovely lady of Sune to heal us as needed." He winks at Lia. "So, flip a coin for it, mighty Snow Leopard?"
Mari sits back and watches Poljen head into the room. She shakes her head. " I dont know about this. I think its a bad idea. " She moves away from the doorway and down the hallway a short distance in case something explodes.
Lia gazes at Velon. " Oh, Ill heal you or him up apparently. There he goes I really need to activate death ward for him. At this rate he will be needing it soon. "
Velon shrugs at Lia and says "yeah, we all may need it at the rate we're going." To Mari he says "I don't like it either, but it's hard to picture any notable area of this place NOT being trapped. I figure we'll have to endure more to get to the center of this place whether it's this way or lingering about the exterior walls for hours. Plus, we don't want to give the wizard too much time to kill us, and I don't mean our host." At that he glances towards Lawrance the curious rune reader.
Cratol keeps a watch out in case something tries to come up behind them. He will watch ahead at times too as he does not want anyone to be surprised if he can help it.
Cratol rolling perception rolls natural 20 and a 9 while watching behind and then in front of the group. +7 on perception and +4 on investigation checks.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As there is no explosion Mari walks back towards the room. " So far , so good i suppose. I cant let him stumble into something in there. Sublety isnt his strong suit. " The young rogue walks in cautiously checking for another way out and any traps.
Lia walks into the room as well. Her sharp eyes look for anything alarming or out of the ordinary.
