Good idea, lets go
*Opens the door which reveals a coloured room, he enters along with the other students*
Well there are two doors, the left one looks...
*As he speaks the section of the floor by the left door collapses and a block begins to fly at the students.*
Darn, the block and tackle. To the right door!
*The students charge towards the right door and make it just as that section of the floor collapses*
Is everyone still here?

*Sniffs*
Rob: It really does stink in here, hey here is a scroll
[glow=white,1,300]Congratulations Traveller, you have passed the test of the block and tackle. Now you must prove your strength in battle to obtain the next component. good luck![/glow]
*As Rob finishes reading this, A beholder appears from behind the shadows*
Beholder: THE COMPONENT BELONGS TO ME! HAND OVER THE OTHERS AND YOU MAY LIVE!
Rob: looks like we have to fight it then

Rob:No Snowwie, don't look at its parlysing gaze! Aim for the eye, its the only weakness.
Beholder: Your too late, my poison is within her, the only way to help her is my death.
Rob: Then so be it, *spellcasts sword* Take its eye!
*The sword impales itself in the Beholder's eye, the beholder gives an unworldly cry and falls to the floor bleeding. Snowwie stops twitching and gets up*
Snowwie: I don't know what came over me!
Rob: lets get the component
*Behind the beholder's body is an alter containing some enchanted mythril, as it is touched then a crumbling sound is heard. In the block and tackle room a new pathway back to the anvil room has formed, the students go back there*
Rob: looks like we have one door left
*heads for the West door*

Oh dear, try this
*Spellcasts restore*
If it doesnt work then GreenDragon can always support you. Now lets press on west.
*Through the West door is a large causway stretching to the other side of the room. There are various weapon and armour symbols. A scroll rests of the first tile which is a Helmet*
[glow=orange,2,300]Agression Or Defence?[/glow]

I choose defense also, lets stick together
*Students take a step onto the Helmet tile rather than the Sword or Mace. The other tiles collapse and they are clearly on the correct one. The next tiles are Axe, Armour and Spear*

*The students slowly make their way across the causeway, as they step on the final shield tile then the bow and arrow tiles collapse. The final component is in a large room. there are several table surrounding a throne. On each table rests a frost diamond.*
Which one is which
*On the throne there is another scroll*
[glow=blue,2,300]Which Is Which? You will need the aid of a wise soceror here. One of legends, it is all a matter of knowing a calling name[/glow]

I think it must mean Hordriss the Confuser, his is the only calling name I know "Malifact, Malifact, Malifact"
*Hordriss' image appears in the throne an points to one of the diamonds, then it disappears*
Well I guess that answers that, we have all the components now back to the anvil room
*In the place of the Causeway is another magical bridge. The students return to the anvil room and put all the components on the anvil*
Rob: lets see we have a red gem, a green gem, a frost diamond, a hilt for a sword and some enchanted mithril. Now we need to find this rite, hey wait a second
*Notices the scroll for the anvil room has changed*
[glow=gold,3,300]Well done HERO! You have done what none could do before and passed the challenges of strength, speed, stamina, intellegence and wisdom. You have proved you are one of good, the rite is on the bookshelf but it is hidden so only those meant to weild it will find it![/glow]

Well then lets start looking through this bookcase, one of these books must be the ritual

*As Snowwie picks up the book it begins to glow with a holy light, the whole room is lit up and symbols which were previously unseen on the walls become visible. Snowwie hands it to Rob and he opens it*
Rob: Ok then looks fairly easy, but we need the staff of the Holy...
*as he says this a staff which has a shining cross as its head appears in the anvil's hole*
Rob: That will be it then *picks it up* Wow, this staff is powerful
*Rob instructs the others to each light a candle while standing over a symbol on the floor, when they are doing this he reads from the ritual book until he is finsished*
Rob: Carum, Daeon Isilnum. Oh no, i don't think it worked
*As he speaks this word the components on the anvil swirl into a vortex, when they finally stop swirling then there is a sheathed sword in place of them. The sword flies towards Rob and clips itself to his belt*
Rob: Wow, lets see what it looks like *He tries to draw it from the scabbard but cannot* What the.... *He cannot remove it from his belt* the scroll has changed again!
[glow=gold,3,500]You are all true heroes, however one of you has been chosen to wield this sword because of their connection with the Evil which is sweeping over this place. The elders can offer you no more help but your headmistress' can, go through to your destiny and may our blessings go with you. -The Elder Lords[/glow]
*The doors to the North, West, East and South disappear and so do the anvil, bookshelf, books, scroll and the symbols. In the place of the anvil is a trapdoor. The students, still amazed by what has happened, go through the door.*
(Kulemii and PF, i am not sure were we are supposed to come out but that is all of what Bob told me was needed to finish the Scareye Idea later on. So whatever you have planned would fit in well here ;D)

(I will take my section of the story back over until your confront Scareye.)
*Looking down into the tunnel with the light you have it is clearly not too deep, you drop through the trap door and see it is a very short corridor. At the end is another door which looks very similar to the magical door. When someone speaks it jumps into life*
Door: Halt! Only friends of the elders may enter here.

Door: There is me and my brother in this chamber, other doors such as us are used to guard places of great secrecy and security. Now, are you a friend of the Elders?

(my character is not here, the door is here though*
Door: You may say yes but I am no fool. Prove you are an Elder friend with a token or a verse from the Elder Songs.

*The door notices Rob had the weapon and allows him through, the others try to follow but realise they are frozen to the spot, they can no longer interact with Rob until they get passed the door*
(The reason I am doing this is that Rob has been doing waayyy to much of the work and no one else is getting much chance. besides most of Snowwie's replies in this topic are Yes or wow. Now you will have to use oyur loaf for once!)
