The full, grand throneroom echoes with Nuria's words, somehow cutting through the crunching and grinding of stone.  Of Lorelei in the flesh, there is no sign until a tapestry catches Nuria's eye.  Against one of the walls of the underground throneroom, a woven tapestry hangs showing the rising wall of sea and bizarre realm they had passed through to arrive here.  In the tapestry are the two illithid, shown slain, and a wonderful figure, bright blue hair, a full chest, and a beautiful visage.  It is clearly Lorelei staring out of the tapestry with a look on her face that seems to beg for help.  Engraved on the frame of the tapestry are the words 'Harmony Provides.'<br/><br/>With Nuria and Sydney now out of their stupors, they both experience Phelypsis swinging them around as she attempts to set up the lever to break down the rocks.  Phelypsis can feel them beginning to move a bit better and if this works well, perhaps they won't need to flee with quite the same speed.  The dagger's point pushes between the stones and with a grunt of effort, prompts a cave in down the stairway.<br/><br/>The rock groans for a moment and Sydney and Nuria are given the sight of the dragon's face for a mere moment before stones fall, the entire archway collapsing around it.  There is a skittering sound of clawed feet and a roar of rage and pain.  The monster is still below, but trapped. For now.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Nuria's Roll</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2016-12-13 13:04:30, Nastara (uid: 56500) rolls: 2d6a1 Result: 8 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=97936)<br/></div></div><br/>Turning back to the throne room, the Delvers see six flickering red lights, low to the ground and the shape of thin almonds.  Then a flicker of flame and the kobolds are visible in the darkness.  All three show wide, toothy grins on their faces at the Delvers and begin to hoot appreciatively at their various states of undress.<br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://img05.deviantart.net/99e5/i/2012/089/c/e/lurking_in_the_lava_cave_by_livmage-d4uh9pu.jpg)</div>Then the world seems to crack.<br/><br/>Thrown back, Phelypsis loses her grip of the other Delvers, depositing the three women onto the ground as the side of the throneroom they are on seems to buckle backwards.  An enormous crack in the stone floor opens between the Delvers and the kobolds near the exit.  Harsh cries of anguish and fear come from the three beasts as bursts and gulps of flame begin to erupt from the crack, flowing lava down below.  The earth begins to split and shift, rock growing further apart.  The tapestry of Lorelei and the illithids hangs on the near side of the growing, fire filled ravine.<br/><br/>In a desperate move, the kobolds take out a heavy net and dangle it over the side, though they have nothing it hang it from.<br/><br/>"Quick!" the leader of the kobolds shouts, "You must jump!"<br/><br/><strong>Delvers!  The threat of the dragon is past and you are SO close to safety.  What do you do?</strong>
