    Heading down the stairs, you enter an immaculate chamber tiled in blue ceramic lies at the bottom of a long flight of stairs. Large bronze double doors exit the room to the south. Before you ca really take note of anything, two of the stone tiles lining the floor raise up and fling themselves at Illy and Anai, doing 10 to Illy and 13 to Anai pushing both back into Boru and a wall, respectively. Though rattled by that, Anai does detect a secret door to the east. Of more import, though, is that there are another two tiles raising from the floor, preparing to attack!

    Wait Vic! But it was too late, she had already ran forward exposing herself to the trap-apparent and any other yet to be triggered. Anai centered her stance, ready to strike the next tile to come her way as she moved slowly towards Vic.

    While Vic's plan to use an area effect to blast the tiles had merit, her blast wasn't really effective for it. It seemed that when she channeled destructive energy as a radius, she generally used a small amount of positive energy as a conduit for it. This made the blast more widespread, but it unfortunately had the side effect that it nothing to non-animated objects.

    On the plus side, both Boru and Anai were able to smack the tiles heading at the party. On the downside, two more tiles were raising from the floor to attack.

    The next minute or so consisted of Vic and Anai smashing the oncoming tiles as Boru maintained a buff and Illy tried to disarm the trap. There was one slightly harrying moment where Vic missed a tile and Boru had to hit it, but otherwise Illy was uninjured during her disarming. Unfortunately, Illy couldn't quite get to the disarming switch, so the tiles kept coming. Eventually, they ran out and you were left alone in the room.

    There are two exits; one to the south and a secret door to the west.

    There are indeed more tiles here. Hundreds of them, in fact. However, they remain motionless. No doubt this is where the replacement tiles for the trap are kept so it can be reset after it goes off. Boru notices a coin on the ground, and Illy is able to identify it as a coin of the untrodden road. Unless you wish to spend some time wailing on the inanimate tiles, there's nothing else to do here.

    Should I assume you head out the other door?

    Anai pocketed the coin, before returning to the original room. No point in delaying. As she examined the next door before opening it.

    While Anai is checking the door, Vic stomps on a tile and gives the "got my eyes on you" sign.

    After, she gets back into position.

    A 15-ft tall statue of a Pharasma stands in the center of this chamber, with her flowing hair behind her, a dagger in one hanf, and a sprig of some sort of herb in the other. It stands between two large stone tables. Ten curtained alcoves break up the heiroglyphed wall. There is an enormous set of bronze double doors to the south.

    Anai eyed the large room warily. Slowly she scanned each of the curtained alcoves for Undead signatures or hidden passages before approaching the one nearest. When the others were ready, she drew the curtain back. She'd repeat this for each alcove until something more interesting than an empty alcove presented itself.

    She noticed an undead hiding in the southwest corner. She motioned silently to the others, readying her falchion as she drew closer, ready to reveal the foul abomination.

    Opening the curtain reveals a skeletal figure; shreds of leathery flesh cling from it, its eyes only while twin motes of fiery light. It spreads its arms upon seeing you and you feel a familiar twinge; one you get whenever Vic uses the Warp sphere.

    While Boru was able to maintain his metaphorical footing, the rest of the party wasn't so lucky.

    Vic lucked out and was sent backwards into the room they just left, so she knows where to head to.

    Anai finds herself in a staircase, one that heads both up and down; though judging from the downward path, the stairs are in a corridor; you're just around the corner, so you can't see where the upward path leads.

    Illy, you find yourself in a strange room. Half-walls and heavy curtains divide this room into a network of small apartments and common spaces. Colorful linens, faded with age, lie neatly folded at the foot of each bare bed, save for the far end of the room, where rich silks and pillows cover a bed surrounded by a mess of discarded books and notes.

    Where will you go?

    Anai huffed, twisting her head as she oriented herself at the new local. She was tempted to go into the open room she could see, but thought better of it. She didn't recognize this place, so it was likely somewhere further in the complex. So, reasonably, the stairs would likely lead towards where the others are. Or hopefully remain; she didn't know who was scattered like her. Slowly, she crept up the stairs.

    All three women were able to get close to the room they'd just been teleported from, Anai having been in a hallway and Illy in a well furbished chamber with beds; no doubt this is where visitors would stay back when this place was running. There was much in the room, but getting back to the fight was likely more important. Boru stabbed at it with his spear, but only glancingly. It swung at Boru, twice. The first one was to lock, but it was a feint. An instant later, it teleported behind him and slahsed his back, resulting in a yelp of pain from the nomad.

    Round 2. You guys are back in action. What do?

    The teleporting undead continued to harry the party, it's teleportation stymieing both Anai and Vic, and its aura of feat startled Boru, who fled to the opposite side of the room. Boru was able to get a stab in. It swung at Anai, but missed. It then teleported behind Anai; ready to deal with the greater threat.

    The crypt thing was proving a tricky foe. Neither Anai or Illy were able to land a blow, though Vic was able to blast it. It took its revenge by slashing her for 11 damage before it teleported away.

    However, that wasn't the only bad news.

    It seems that the thing had managed to spook Boru, causing him to run into the room to the south... and right into the Large statue of Anubis that came to life and attacked him. Boru managed to hold him off for now, but the thing, seeing him through the open doors, teleported behind Boru, giving the giant statue a flanking buddy.

    Round 4, FIGHT!
