Welcome to Gaia! ::

She pressed forward, shivering and rubbing her arms with her hands. She knew she should probably keep moving in hopes that the next room would be warmer.

Well, the purring sound seemed to be a dud, and as soon as Ever was half considering piling into the pile of bodies to try and get warm...the temperature rose.

Boy, this dungeon was weird. They'd have to see about putting a warning sign outside the domain for others to be aware of the shifting temperatures!

Requiem had a little time to think while he kept warm in the dirt....and now he had a plan. Once the temperature finished its snit fit he stood and shook his coat out. Head up he strode past the other out through the door of room 13, back into Room 1.

Once there he went back to the open door he'd first entered through, carefully stepped over the threshold, and turned back to look at the room. Taking three deep breaths he deliberately stepped once more back into the dungeon of room 1, reciting in a loud clear voice with stage projection "We will begin these rites, As we do trust they'll end, in true delights!" Then he marched forward and stopped before the center white marble tile of the floor. Not on it, just before it. Cue dramatic pause! Requiem stood alert and on watch.

Then he caught motion above him. From the ceiling the smoke curled down, forming a humanoid-ish ghostly shape hovering above the center tile. A broad grin split his face. Lowering his head to the ground he took a long measured deep inhale, lifted his muzzle to center of "mass" of the smoke, and blew out hard. The ghostly form shredded before him!

Coughing from the odd acrid smell he stepped forward to see what had fallen from the form....

He'd done it! He found something! He'd fought something...and won! He pranced a bit in place excited. Forgetting to pick up what he'd found he immediately dashed to the bowls and poked around....

Reito kept himself pressed to the floor as he tried to crawl through the room. The symbols were hard to see through the smoke, but he caught glimpses occasionally. He didn't like the smoky air or the grumbling noise that filled the silence.

The temperature in the dungeon had changed again. Moxx wasn't sure what was goig on but she decided to take a moment to explore the next room she went into. The pleasant temperature makes up for the fact that the floors are literally steaming, and air is somewhat smoky. The hooting noise coming from somewhere in the room intrigues her so she searches in hopes to find where it's coming from.

Just as Revel had found enough things to start a fire, the temperature of the room changed, thankful it was no longer cold. Revel left the pile of wood in the corner of the room, maybe someone else could do with it. She ignored the things in the next two rooms she passed through finding a larger room so that's where she decided to look for treasure... or something. Unfortunately that's where Revel encountered a rather large creature and instead of trying to fight, she hid in the first place she could find, until it went away.

-rolled wrong dice I apologize-

Soulhymn's luck is not great today, and encounters an enemy in Room 12. Barely managing to win, Soulhymn decides they have made their luck themselves! They found some loot for the trouble too.

Soulhymn's two battles have tired Soulthymn enough to lay down for a bit without leaving Room 12. Strength returns quickly returns, and they search for anything useful. What do you know, they find some loot!

It is time to move on, and Soulhymn moves back into Room 3, wary of that monster from before. Soulhymn searches the room and finds nothing! At least the monster in Room 3 did not attack this time.
