It's the homes stretch, exit from this fortress of savages almost in sight!  The braying of hounds and the yelps of the last gnoll echoed from behind as their voices were joined by more entities; no doubt the rest of the complex's denizens!<br/><br/>The stairs led up into a cavernous tunnel which led in one direction.  Upon exiting the complex, Sabisstra could feel an open presence subtly "pulling" her as she maneuvered through the tunnels.  Upon reaching a bend in the tunnel this force nearly pulled her into the wall with sudden force!<br/><br/><em>Roll an Acrobatics check (DC 25) or slam into the wall and take 2d6 damage.</em><br/><br/>The direction of gravity was now going towards the cave wall, which was for all intents and purposes the "floor."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Knowledge the Planes DC 15</div><div class="spoiler_body">Some planar realms have gravity which functions differently.  You remember hearing that in the case of Pandemonium, "down" is whatever large surface in closest contact with you.  Perfectly circular and narrow tunnels have a chance to cancel out gravity entirely.</div></div><br/>The calls of chase grew closer, and a fleeing Sabisstra found herself in an expansive cavern.  Strong gales cut through large openings in the rock, drowning out all but the loudest sounds.<br/><br/>Roll a DC 22 Stealth check to lose your pursuers.  Either way Sabisstra manages to move on to the city below, but on a failure the Erythnulites track her last known location to here.
