There was no sounds to be heard while traversing the passages or at the door.   The party decides to rest while inside the maze-like structure and no encounters happen as they rested. Sheila healed up Cassandra for 10 hit points with a Cure Serious Wounds spell.   The go to the end of the east going passage which turned south then as Maevis turns to head east at the bottom end of the passage, he felt a slight tingling. A saving throw vs death is made he rolls a 16 needing ≥ 13.  So thus, Maevis just falls back after feeling the tingling. It was as of something had a delayed response and he was able to fall back in time. This served as a warning the place is likely trapped so they backtrack going back north, the east, turn south near the middle of the passage, the goes south east the turns north west to a door, all while Grax continuously searched for a trap along the way! Lord Tendlore would pause to concentrate on detecting evil along the way but no passage wall does so.   For now they decide to head back, going north east, north, north west then west until they came to an opening on the north side of the passage. As Grax begins to check for traps there there is a loud ZAP! Then Grax suddenly completely disappears, leaving no trace of him or his equipment behind!   Maevis, asks the others, “Alright, Big question, Do we join Grax? Or do we leave him?” Cassandra, Lord Tendlore and Meavis decide to follow Grax, in the belief that he was teleported off somewhere and Zap! Zap! Zap! They disappear as well! When Lord Tendlore went through a rope was tied around he but it was cleanly severed as Coal held it in his hand.   The remaining party members decide not to enter the Zapping zone and   So then, it was back to that door they found, with Balen trying to hear noise beyond the door but does not.   The door is not locked, so it is pushed open to reveal:   This octagonal room is empty except for a stone pedestal which stands in the exact center of the room. The pedestal is 4 feet tall and 1 foot in diameter. Atop it sits a golden object, a 5-inch tall bust of a clean-shaven human with a hooked nose, bushy eyebrows, and short hair. There is another door on the opposite wall of the one the party entered.   Balen, thinks it to be a trap and listens at the other door only to hear nothing beyond it. The door is easily opened to reveal a passage going west then turning south at it’s end. While in this south going passage, Xilicien casts the Detect magic spell but none is detected along any of the walls here. Sheila casts Detect Trap while in this passage as well, the spells will last them both for 14 minutes. Sheila also didn’t see at trap in the south going passage.   They continue onwards, east, then north then east, south east then east when only Sheila’s Detect Trap spell illuminates an opening going south and also at the opening in the passage’s end to the east. So far 3 minutes of the spells have gone by at this point.   It is now: 7:00 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: A 5 inch tall golden statue (not taken – left of pedestal)   Total Session XP: None this session   Player Character | Current Level | Experience Points | Need for Next Level   Bard - Maevis Silverleaf:  LVL:   7   |  XP: 46,240.254  |  (Need: 70,000 for Level 8)    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)    Fighter / Thief - Grax Ironcloak:  Level: 7 / 8  |  XP: 73,121.127 / 73,121.127 (Need: Fighter: 125,001 for level 8 /  Thief:  110,001 for level 9)   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) Paladin Knight - Human - Lord Tendlore: Level 7  |   XP: 95,001  |  Need: 175,001 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)       Witch – Cassandra:  Level: 7 XP:  Witch 66,240.254  |  (Need: Witch: 90,001  /  Wild Mage: ??)    Character XP totals are now all up to date.
