Toe 32

[F2033] Inside the void tunnel. You've dispatched the first group of creature's you've encountered and taken a second to catch your breath. The way back, west, if still clear. You don't hear anything moving around from the way forward, east, just yet either.
Sohl works quickly, tossing a [Quench] onto Harino. [+18 HP]
Shuu looks ahead "Keep checking to see what's around or back up to deal with the enemies behind us?"
Sohl then casts a [Breeze] for Harino and Shuu. [+13 HP]
Yin rolled 4d6 and got 1, 5, 6, 5 ( Total: 17 ) for Yin sneaks ahead to look
Harino hmms, then closes her eyes and channels a [Hero Saber]. [+12 HP]
Sohl nods at the advancing Yin. "(Best to cut a swath, eh?)"
PseudoGM: You're still good on the stealth front, unless something drastically happens in the dungeon. That said; as you scout ahead the ground becomes a bit less void-like and starts to morph into something more… metallic?
PseudoGM: Eventually most of the void texture is replaced by steel, and it's like you're inside of an older building.
PseudoGM: And not long after this happens, you run smack into a massive gate that covers the entirety of the pathway.
PseudoGM: Glancing it over, you're pretty sure it's supposed to just pull up, but you don't see any mechanism to use or operate to accomplish that feat.
Yin heads back to the group to tell them about said weirdness
Yin: "Seems clear up to that point though at least."
Wrench: "I mean, something that ain't void appeals to me mighty."
Sohl: "Could give it the ol' shoulder check."
Shuu considers for a moment… "So this is a gateway"
Shuu: "I want to guess that the gate you ran into isn't meant to be open from this side"
Wrench: "Oh, c'mon, Shuu. Who cares what the gate wants?"
Shuu: "Well, someone that wants to figure out how to open it"
Yin looks around the walls for any cryptic text or riddles "There might be a clue around here, I've read about a gate like that before"
Shuu: "We could definitely employ force as required-" he looks at Yin "Or we might have a clue, what have you read?"
Wrench: "Well, let's head over there." Wrench leads the way back to the gate.
Sohl: "Let's go give it the ol' floor 2000 heft."
Yin: "Just an old story about a little familiar and a pack of dwarves and going to a mointain, but the world wasn't coated in miasma." Yin shrugs at Shuu "Obvious fantasy, but it might be worth a shot."
Shuu puts a hand on his chin "Well, we do have a dwarf" he says "Let's head oer, then"
Sohl ambles after Wrench.
PseudoGM: As Yin mentioned, there's no weird void texture here, and it's all old steel. The gate is closed, looks thick, and is massive. The 'room' itself is otherwise pretty featureless; you don't see any switches, levers, buttons or anything else you might operate the gate with
PseudoGM: there's just enough leeway at the bottom where you could slip something small through it, possible even get a grip on it.
Sohl: "Alright, lift with the knees. And shoulders, arms, thighs…"
Yin: "Just a deadlift? I doubt it's that simple, nothing else here is"
Wrench walks up to it and lifts it. [Strength.]
Shuu crosses his arms "really? Well, might as well" he says walking over closer to the door. Time to help
Sohl shrugs. "Don't see nothin' else here, so…"
Wrench rolled 3d6 and got 3, 1, 4 ( Total: 8 )
PseudoGM: It groans slightly as you try and lift it Wrench, like it's rusted or something. It's going to take some effort getting it up. Success options: [You get it open] [You overexert yourself and lose 5MP or 15HP]
[OOC] Wrench: -1 LP, 5MP] Wrench heaves it open and…
Wrench lifts it above her shoulders, sweating, tail-flicking, glaring at the rest.
Wrench: "Now get a move on. Hell. Not gonna…"
Wrench: "…Do this twice."
Shuu slips past quickly, that's not a good state to be in
Yin scampers under!
PseudoGM: Whew! It's a little awkward shifting all that weight from one shoulder to the other, but you manage to get to the other side after the others slip through, too.
Wrench lets it slam down with a tremendous crash.
Sohl rolls under and his hat falls off!! But before it comes crashing down, he snatches it back up and quickly donns it.
PseudoGM: The other side of the gate looks pretty similar. The scuff marks on the steel are a bit different, but it's otherwise pretty featureless, as the futher you move on past the gate, the more the metallic bits begin to be replaces with the void texture once again.
PseudoGM: Looking around, it seems like the only way to go from here is north, though Yin can make out the sounds of another group milling around in that direction.
Wrench kneels down and sniffs the scuff marks a few times.
PseudoGM: That's kind of weird, Wrench.
PseudoGM: It doesn't actually smell like metal.
PseudoGM: Or anything at all, really.
Shuu furrows his eyebrows, thinking, looks at the marks and then looks further ahead "Seems like we're not the only ones using this path"
Yin: "Sounds like we're about to be crashing another party ahe-" Yin stops and looks at Wrench.
Sohl runs a hand through his beard. "Strange for this gate to be devoid of void, and then gets the texture again…"
Wrench: "Nah," she says. "Still void."
Sohl: "Huh. Definitely weird-like."
Harino frowns, her ears lying flat, one katana at ready. "The void is… weird."
Sohl: "Keep movin' 's probably the best answer, though, unless you smell somethin' extra-weirdlike."
Wrench: "Nah," She shrugs. "Just regular-type. Let's go."
PseudoGM: Up ahead: looks like there's a diverse set of things… living…? in here. There's a vague shape that looks kind of like a knight, all in black with purple streaks running through it. Two small wisp like creatures seemingly made of light, that every so often distort in just the right way to look like faces, And then two large, hulking… you're not even sure. It's like if someone had described a gorilla, a tiger and a rhino to someone who had never seen an animal before, and they thought they were the same creature and then drew what they thought it would be.
Wrench: "Well, let's bust through."
Shuu: "Goign to go on a limb and imagine those aren't peaceful beasts" he says, sighing
PseudoGM: They seem to sense you as you approach, with the light creaturing falling to the back and letting the other three advancing.
Sohl: "Could try talkin' to 'em, Shuu!"

Sohl: "Whew! These things are kinda tough, huh?"
Harino: "Just a little…"
Wrench: "Whew. Hate em."
PseudoGM: Looks like from here, your only options are North ahead, or south back towards where you came from.
[OOC] Yin: Which is blocked off by the monstrously heavy gate
Shuu takes a deep breath and kneels down for a moment "Well, this is going to be a bother"
PseudoGM: Yup.
Shuu: "Shall we keep moving?"
Sohl: "Yeah, I mean…"
Sohl: "Screw tryin' to lift that gate again, eh?"
PseudoGM: As you continue north, the ground starts to get a little damp.
PseudoGM: And then it starts to get a little wet.
PseudoGM: And then it gets a lot of wet, with water flowing past you.
PseudoGM: And then finally…
PseudoGM: Well, there's a big cube of water, blocking the way forward. It doesn't appear to be sealed in by anything at all, it's just, a giant cube of water occupying the tunnel entirely.
Shuu: "Hrm…" he looks at the cube "What even is this…"
PseudoGM: With some squinting, you can sort of make out some kind of hatch attached to the ground that you could probably open.
Sohl: "I'd advise against takin' a drink."
PseudoGM: That'll mean holding your breath long enough to wade all the way out there and then get the thing open, though. Which is sure to test your [Determination]
Harino grimaces, nodding in acknowledgement. "Let me give it a shot."
Shuu: "This is incredibly peculiar I must say"
Yin: "I am a lot of things, but a strong swimmer is not currently one of them…"
Harino rolled 5d6 and got 3, 6, 4, 6, 1 ( Total: 20 )
Harino holds her breath as she wades forward to open that hatch.
PseudoGM: As soon as you step inside of the water cube you're hit by a strong pressureizing force, but you shrug it off and press on. The hatch opens up easily enough once you get to it, and the moment it opens all the water begins to fall, then drains itself out of the room in short order.
Harino shakes herself once the water's drained enough, displeased to be completely soaked.
Sohl: "Heyyyyyyyy, good job!"
Shuu walks over closer to Harino "Thanks for dealing with that" he says
Sohl: "What's even in the hatch, aside from a lotta water now?"
PseudoGM: Without all that water around, it's easy enough to spot the exist in this room. New ones west, north and east. Yin can hear monster groups prowling both to the north and the west, but not from the east. In fact, you can see a gentle light coming from the east.
Yin hurries to scout the source of the light
PseudoGM: Sohl: Glancing down, the hole doesn't even go down a full five feet before you hit solid void ground. … All the water's gone, though.
Sohl: "…yeah I'm not -that- curious." He closes the hatch.
Shuu: "It's like some kind of test this kind of place"
Shuu waits for Yin to return
PseudoGM: Yin: As you scout eastward, the light gets brighter and brighter. And then you can see it: a massive, twenty foot tall crystal, hovering in the air and rotating slowly.
Yin heads back and tells everyone. "Looks like the sanctuary from our previous dungeon dive to me, but it could be a trap. worth checking out." She nods to Sohl.
Sohl: "Haaaah. Yeah, I'll take a few chances at this point."
Sohl: "Let's check it out."
PseudoGM: East, then!
Harino: "We could certainly use a rest… and a place to dry off."
Shuu: "Agreed"
PseudoGM: The crystal is inside of a large, rounded room. It looks like this is a dead end, but the light feeling calming, just like it did in the sanctuary within the Goblin's domain. There's even a tiny little offering box located beneath it, which it's floating over.
[OOC] PseudoGM: It's A Real Sanctuary
Sohl places his palms together and says a short prayer.
Sohl: "It'll be a good night at least."
PseudoGM: As Sohl finishes up his prayer, you can hear some rustling from behind you.
Shuu turns around, what now
PseudoGM: Well, that's a Mindflayer, Shuu.
Wrench slumps down into the Sanctuary.
Wrench: "Heck."
Shuu takes a deep breath
Shuu: "Not going to attack anyone here now are you?"
PseudoGM: It walks past the party towards the far wall, then slumps something from it's shoulder. A backpack…?
Harino blinks, turning to look behind herself, before shaking her head and flopping onto the ground near the crystal. "Gods above, I hope not."
PseudoGM: It seems to ignore Shuu's question as it opens it up and begins digging around inside of it.
Sohl looks between the party, and the Mindflayer, and back…
Sohl: "Heck, you sellin' anything?"
Shuu is going to let it be if it ain't fighting
PseudoGM: A few moments later it makes an 'aha!' noise and pulls out three large chunks of obsidian, and carefully arranges them on the ground.
PseudoGM: "Sec."
PseudoGM: It then waves its hands over the rocks while it vocalizes… probably some spell? It's not in common, or the old runic language at least.
PseudoGM: In either case, the stones begin to grow and fuse together, and within a couple of minutes the slabs have turned into a large booth, or stall.
PseudoGM: The Mindflayer then tosses the rests of its pack inside before climbing in after it.
PseudoGM: Another minute or too later it pulls out a sign that says "OPEN" and hangs it from the roof, giving a nod to Sohl.
Sohl: "Heheh, alright!" He wanders on over to peruse.
Yin: "Handy trick for a traveling salesflayer."
PseudoGM: "I'm sellin' just about anything ya could want!"
[OOC] PseudoGM: Black Market Access
Shuu just… Looks at the stall. He keeps looking for a while… He shrugs, alright, why not
