Killilli’s Dragon Heist

"I didn't touch anything! It was Verky! I'm fine, I'm used to burns, and fire! Way too much fire, really! Pretty much my whole life, dreams too! Fire, fire, fire! My face does hurt, did either of my eyebrows make it? Oh, and tell Verky to be more careful Eddy, this stings!"

She starts presitidigating herself clean as they walk to the gold room, grinning wide at Lyss and wiggling where her eyebrowshad been. To Cico she says as she walks,

"Ooohh no! It felt super bad, like really, really bad! But it was neat in there! Someone had mixed all sorts of stuff JUST right to blow up, but only after a rat touched it! My expectations were met on every level, and I'm sure my eyebrows will grow back! Probably anyhow! I was hoping for a fun combination of different things, you know giant size and fire hair, but ya can't get everything!"

She'll ramble on about other neat combinations, ignoring the gold room entirely.

Cico looks over to Aimee as she describes her experience.

”You may have been stuck in that room if you grew to the size of a giant. That would not have been good.”

Seems to be a regular set of gates embedded in a solid wall. Without forcing, they look unlikely to budge.

"Or maybe it would have been VERY good!"

"Giant Aimee would be good at smashing gates open!"

"Yep!"

She looks around for the first time,

"Oh this room again, no touching anything still apply?"

Cico starts fumbling through his pockets looking for any of the trinkets they picked up in the other rooms.

”A coin was useful before. Maybe something else we found is the key here. Did something have gates on it?”

You’re at the room beyond the coin room - rectangular, completely empty except for a set if iron gates embedded in the far wall. You cannot see anything beyond the wall that you could smash through into as they’re literally inside a wall

"Yes, we are going home," Kerri decides not to argue about the rat at this point. "We are going home and never coming back here ever again."

Lyss will check for traps and is the gate is locked.

Thieves tools:  28

Aimee nods along with Kerri,

"Ya, probably wouldn't be nearly so fun a second time around! Probably not a repeat customer kinda thing!"

"I didnt find it particularly fun the first time," Kerri says.

Cico watches Lyss check for traps. If she doesn’t appear to find any, Cico will reach out and try rattling the gate.

(OOC Is that possible? These are embedded in the wall so not really a gate to anything right?)

Lyss looks over the gate but it doesn’t seem to be locked in any conventional manner. As Cico grabs it yet another magic mouth appears in the ceiling above. 

“Beyond these gates lies paradise. Enter them as you entered life, and you may yet find it; grasp the jewel and grasp the iron, then be whisked away to the truest of rewards.”

"Naked and screaming?"

Aimee snickers.

"Whose first?"

Cico frowns at the message from the magic mouth, ignoring Lyss and Aimee.

"Grasp the jewel and grasp the iron," he repeats. Then he looks at Lyss and Aimee. "Keep your clothes on for now."

He looks around the room again and then starts through his pockets and pouch again.

"Silver door, gold door, pit, electrical, garbage, mimic, silence," Cico says, rocking a little as he recites what he can remember.

Suddenly he stops and looks over at Aldrik and his collection of swords.

"It was dangling above," Cico says. 

Aimee pulls out her new wand,

"I can try this? Maybe it will blow up walls?"

Lyss sticks her arm back out through her sleeve when Cico tells her to stay dressed.

Cico takes out the gemstone that was under the sword in the other room, holds it in one hand and grabs the gate with the other.
