"Thanks for joining me," Holly say to Will and Hunter in a low tone when they appear through about oddly 15ft of concentrated darkness. "The old man is eccentric but not cruel," she sticks her hand in the darkness behind them and pulls it back out. "I think it's all a mind game. I get the panthers were...a little much but you'd think none of them played a VR video game in their life," she adds throwing a look over her shoulder at the direction of the group no longer in view! "That however is going to be the real challenge," she points out a large set of doors ahead.
The area around them where the tunnel broke through is lit in an eerie greenish-blue light from torches placed in even intervals down the corridor the tunnel broke into stretching endlessly to the left and the right!

"Doc could make a lot of money off a lot of things he's developed," Holly says with a smirk. "He won't though it's all for science," she adds watching Hunter but before she can stop him he grabs the door handles! "Watch out," she shouts and it's echoes around them as Hunter's hands touch the handles...
Hunter please make a DEX saving throw DC 13. If fail he takes 2 of lightning damage from the shocking grasp trap placed on the doors.

Moving towards him Holly reaches out a hand to help him up.
"I'm sorry I should have also said we should assume ALL the doors are trapped," Holly says sheepishly frowning offering him help up.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
“Thanks,” Hunter says sheepishly as he gets back on to his feet. “Test taking has never been my thing.”
He watches Will’s mage hand with curiosity.
”That is so cool, dude.”
While Will tries the door with the hand, Hunter walks back to it and kneels down. He examines the doorframe and handles for any sign of where the trap is housed.
Will's mage hand finds the door is locked. Hunter kneels examining the door and doesn't notice anything particular. It's just a door that apparently is locked and trapped!

"Well it just looked like a door to me, but maybe you'll see something that I didn't."
Hunter looks up and down the hallway.
"Why don't you take a closer look at the door and I'll jog down the hallway to see if there's some other way in or maybe a control panel or something."
He looks left, shrugs, and moves 30' in that direction, looking for control panels, other doors, anything that might help.
Milas stares at the silver ooze for a moment longer, then follows the party into the darkness, tapping ahead of himself with his foot to make sure he doesn't fall into any holes or nothing, once he's completely in the darkness he hollers ahead "hey y'all, how far does this go??", continuing to tap ahead of himself
"It's about 15ft." Holly calls into the dark. "We all made it through. You two come on. My grandmother is more adventurous...," she grumbles then looks back at the door where Will is studying it.
Will doesn't discover anything. He sees no levers or triggers or anything that would disarm the trap or open the door.

Moving down the corridor he discovers another set of similar doors to those infront of the tunnel. They look identical. He does notice silver goop marks on the floor as if whatever tunneled through the pyramid moved this way! The corridor ahead is still lined with torches but the eerie light from the green-blue torches seems to die out about 75 ft ahead of Hunter!
"I can manage the door I was just hoping one of you would offer up an idea besides smashing it down," Holly smirks. "The last time I came through with the first team there wasn't any panthers or darkness or doors or ominous goop..." she sighs loudly. "I....I can't figure out what Doc is playing at," she adds with a sigh.

"What ever the silver goop is, that's pretty cool. Doc could make a fortune with the military."
He walks up to the door, sizing it up.
Thinking that this is probably too obvious to work, Hunter just tries turning the handles/pushing them open.
"Doc could make a lot of money off a lot of things he's developed," Holly says with a smirk. "He won't though it's all for science," she adds watching Hunter but before she can stop him he grabs the door handles!

(Dexterity Save: 9 )
Hunter hears Holly's warning but too late to do anything about it.
"Sonofa*****," he shouts as the electricity rips through him.
He falls back on his ass and looks from his hand to the door.
"Lesson learned."
Moving towards him Holly reaches out a hand to help him up.
"I'm sorry I should have also said we should assume ALL the doors are trapped," Holly says sheepishly frowning offering him help up.

"Allow me." Will's mage hand gives the doors a try.

"Will, you have to figure this out," Hunter says. "I'm one second away from just hacking at the door with an axe."
He looks up and down the seemingly endless hallway, and then turns to Holly.
"Have you been down either end of this hall?"
"I don't know anything about picking locks, man. If it were a passcode or some sort of logic puzzle, maybe... "

Hunter shouts back over his shoulder as he moves down the tunnel.
"Just keep walking. It doesn't last long."
Then he turns back to look for anything that might be another way past the doors.
"It's about 15ft." Holly calls into the dark. "We all made it through. You two come on. My grandmother is more adventurous...," she grumbles then looks back at the door where Will is studying it.
Will doesn't discover anything. He sees no levers or triggers or anything that would disarm the trap or open the door.
Hunter please make an investigation check.

Will turns to those arriving. "Either of you know how to get past locked, trapped doors? Hunter is ready to pay it back and smash it down otherwise."
