Ugrash and Timerian seem to be tense, they exchange looks, then nod almost in unison. Kneeling down, looking at something at the floor, Timerian starts to talk, a bit absent minded, but still clearly and loud enough for your keen ears to pick up the words<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Timerian</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote"> Hmm... Someone... or something tried to hold the door shut while something inside threw itself against it. Must be pretty strong, the marks here are deep. Looks like Claw marks, but I'm not sure, might be spiked boots or something even stranger....  hmm. broken protections... a door hold shut... cleared bones... Nah. i give up. too few information.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>louder, as if speaking to everyone now again he adds<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Timerian</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I think the only way to solve this riddle, is to open this door and most likely fight whatever lies behind it. Tialyn, would you open the door please? Ugrash and myself fight as a team, as you might have noticed by now. If one of us opens the door, the other one is wide open for a counterattack, and has to wait for him on top of it. You on the other side are hopefully not needed within the first few seconds, and should stay out of the fight anyway</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>As you do as you were asked, you notice the door being exactly as heavy as it looks like, but the still well functioning construction allows you to actually open one of those, at least one ton weighting wings.Peeking inside you get at least a partial answer as to what happened here, as you can spot four bloody lumps of flesh lying on the floor. One lies directly at the door, fortunately at the closed wing, allowing your friends to charge without obstacles. Its a Gnoll, most likely a male as it is only wearing a loincloth. It rests were it was cut down, a horrible swordwound on its back, with more, smaller cuts spread out on its entire body.The others are too far away to see many details in a hurry, but from the amount of blood each one shed its clear that they were slaughtered by a wickedly sharp weapon..<br/><br/>Ugrash and Timerian charge through the opening as soon as its wide enough for both to pass through, never pausing to actually look at their opponent, with Ugrash howling a warcry at the top of his lungs while charging the... thing... head on,face twisted with rage, and Timerian swiftly, almost gracefully moving in position behind it to provide support, obviously looking for an opportunity to grapple his opponent. You of course have enough time to look at it, as you open the door while standing out of the way of your friends, waiting for them to pass you.<br/><br/>Its a humanoid, only slightly more towering as Ugrash with his nearly two meters of height, completely made of clay, but for a very visible, huge bulge under his loincloth, which is so much in tatterns it cannot help but showing most of a big, slightly hairy, and very much flesh-made cock and balls.The thing wields a scimitar, which radiates bright light as soon as your friends rush at it, with a halo of burning flame forming around its head simultaneously.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/95/93/68/9593683920f2305ac87fb45e9c866ed2.jpg)</div></div><br/>Somewhere in the back of your mind you can hear Nozomoto pipe up again:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote from: Nozomoto</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">To identify this creature, and know its abilities and weaknesses, a Knowledge: Arcana check would be needed. But in this special case the player "Tialyn Luxora" is allowed a Knowledge: Religion check instead. Please note, that this check identifies the base creature, not templates, blessings, or spells that might have affected it later.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Aside from this, its clear that you need to make a decision: Enter the room, helping your friends defeat the monster, or stay outside, staying safe, but being too far away for all close range spells, channeling and other abilities that only work within 30 feet?<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">initiative please, should you chose to enter the room.</div></div>
