The Long Road of the Mage King (Game Thread)

(A (doomed) fire genasi is here. The firbolg is en route to the nearest city.)

(Oops, mixed 'em up)

Dog is staying in the green light, very still. He's peering around corners while still staying within the green light to get as much visibility into the other hallways and doorways. He looks around on the ground for the candle that Stones threw into the purple light, as well as anything else he sees.

"Do you think if we step out and step back into the light, we go back to the purple room? Or maybe somewhere else? Also Gash did you find a robit? And did someone else hear a scream? We might all want to get ready to run or chance another color teleport."

The candle is indeed sitting here on the floor, still burning, in fact.

"What's a robit?" Feytok says as he walks down the stairs to join Gash and size up this new person. "I am Feytok. I am here to die today."

Stones pulls out another candle and gently tosses it to Gash from the top of the stairs while still in the green room. “Here catch!  Toss it back to me and we’ll see if it disappears.”

When Gash throws the candle back, it disappears after entering the green aura.

This is a nightmare scenario for Tock. He believes it to be wise to stick together and work as a group, but this seems to be impossible here. He is not coping well with it at all. 

Tock will stick close to Dog until further notice. 

Bulwark turns to look at Feytok, "Name: Bulwark. Confusion: You wish to die? For what purpose?"

"No," says Feytok. "But that is my preordained fate."

Another distant roar resounds through the dungeon.

"FeyTok. Dreams are dreams. Life is life. Death is death. You don't have to die today. We'll get through this, like we've gotten through so much more. I'll be there right by your side. And Tock, you're right, let's stick together. Shall we join Gash, FeyTok, and this new... being down the stairs?"

If the others agree, Dog walks down the stairs. "I'm Doggear Brakespine, but you can call me Dog. What's your story? How'd you get here? Gregory might have told you but we're here to find some friends of ours who were taken by a minotaur. Feel like getting out of here alive with us?"

He looks around the corner a bit to see if he can hear more of the thing that roared, or see anything new.

Feytok pointedly says nothing. Dog, peering around the corner, sees the end of a pool of water in some kind of large room. He sees no threats, however.

Stones picks up the candle, still lit, and walks down the stairs. “Greetings new friend! I am Stones.”

Tock follows Stones, the entire group gathered around Bulwark at the bottom of the stairs. The warforged's eyes blaze as he hears a familiar stomping echoing down the halls.

Bulwark's grip tightens on his hammer, as he heaves it up and moves over to one of the corridors, his own metallic footsteps heavy on the floor. "Dismissive: How I got here is currently irrelevant. I will tell you this, however. Determined: I am going to kill all that exists in this labyrinth."

(Bulwark is on 1 hp, right? And can he pinpoint which direction the sounds are coming from? 18 for Perception)

"Informative: This dungeon is a maze, a labyrinth of inter-connected portals, and halls. There are traps, enemies, and minotaurs of crystal. They are dangerous."

“Do they have any uh um defects? Vulnerablities?”

Bulwark points down the hall towards the room with a pool of water in it...the exact opposite direction of the  glowing green aura.

(Is that indicating to where a crystal minotaur is? Or answering Gash?)

(Crystal Minotaur)

"Negative. They do not possess any specific flaws to my knowledge. There is one down this hall, in the direction of the pool."

Bulwark stops, hesitating at the entrance, and looking down at his form. "Commencing System Self-Diagnosis... Heavy damage sustained across all areas. Regretful: I will not be able to engage them in combat without the threat of certain destruction."

“You say it is in that room. Does that mean they stay in the rooms they are in?
