The rest of the party is outside the room in a corridor just to the north east.   Balen decides to pick up the magical bell when, BOOM! He sets off a Fireball trap! Fortunately it was a bit of a weak blast, dealing only 15 hit points of full damage, a save vs spells would be only 8 hit points.   Those that failed the saving throw vs spell was Coal and Camlin, so they took the 15 damage.   Balen, removes his backpack and places the bell inside of it.   The party then decides to retrace their steps back to the Holographic Head room.   It is found that the door into the room is now closed, with no way to show the golden statue to the Holographic Head, in order to open it!   Balen says, “Guess the choice has been made for us, we try to finish the maze.”   They go back to the second octagonal room area and after trying a few different passages, and either coming to dead ends or a Zap Trap, which they checked for by tossing pebbles down corridors and around corners, they decide to try the other door in the octagonal bell room, of which the non-magical golden bell still sits upon the floor.   Balen, opens the opposite door and tosses a pebble through, which does not get Zapped out of existence, so thus the party moves into the new corridor.   The party continues onwards, tossing pebbles along the way to find more Zap Traps, going through more twisting and turning passages in a north westerly direction, until they reach a 60 ft long passage, where a pebble is tossed and heard to be zapped just out of torch range.   So another pebble is tossed through a corridor just 20 ft south and east in the long south corridor and they proceed to enter it.     It is now: 8:15 am on August 25 (Day 27 on the Isle of Dread).   And that Ends today's Adventure Gaming Session!   Experience Points Awarded this Session: None this session   Loot Found: 2 small golden bells: The magical one is taken and placed into Balen’s backpack.   Total Session XP: None this session   Player Character | Current Level | Experience Points | Need for Next Level   Bard Jester – Balen:  LVL: 7  |    XP: 46,240.254  |  (Need: 70,000 for Level 8)   Cleric – Sheila:  Level: 7  |  XP:  61,241.254  |  (Need: 110,001 for level 8)    Guardian (Paladin) – Rowan Root:  Level:  7  |   XP: 76,241.254  |  (Need: 140,001 for level 8)    Magic-User – Quintolos:  Level: 7 / 7 XP: 62,922.325 cleric  /  62,922.325 Magic-User  |  (Need: 110,001 cleric for level 8 / 90,001 MU for level 8)   Magic-User – Xilicien:  Level: 7  | XP:  69,477.504  |  (Need: 90,001 for level 8) Ranger – Camlin:  Level: 7  |  XP: 96,240.254  |  (Need: 150,001 for level 8)   Ranger - Coal Blackburn:  Level: 8  |  XP:  =  161,197.004|  (Need: 225,001 for level 9)   Warlock - Doña Phicenta Thragiella De Thrul:  Level: 7  |  XP: 102,240.254  |  (Need: 192,000 for level 8)       Character XP totals are now all up to date.
