Leslie stood up from having been dumped on the floor. "Well this is all good and exciting but can we please just hurry up and find a way home now before we get killed?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alexis slashed at the skeletal dragon's snout from mid-air, figuring she could better dodge by flying than on the ground.

With a whimper Icarus placed his hand back in the hole and pushed the lever back to it's orginal position. In his attempt to do this the creature attacks several more times. Biting his lip so hard he drew blood he finally gets the lever back in to place. Then pulling his swellng and discoloring hacd out collapses to the tunnel floor as the door slides shut the cavern's occupant once again trapped inside.

((Um... where is Icarus? I'm assuming he's in a hallway with my group outside of the Sanctus Judicium room... I'll edit later if I'm wrong...))
Nitrox looked down the hallway. "Alright, now we're just outside the big room. We need another way in. Ideas? If we scout, we gotta look out for traps that haven't been sprung..."

((They are in a secret passage that Icarus opened in the room with Nitrox's group))

Bone is already scouting the hallway when he turns back to Amp. "Girl, we're dead anyway if we don't find that sword, unless you have a way of defeating the White Knight, who gets power from Faith." He digs a bone claw into a similar hole to the one Icarus found, and using hte claw he opens another secret door. "We've got to find another way into that chamber the boss got locked in."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fuse uses living wires to help Icarus up. "Thanks," she says in a cold voice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The floor drops out under Selena and MoA, and Malistyrax and Lycan dive down. Chimera grabs Alexis and yanks her down the passage as it starts to close.

Alexis gave a small yipe of surprise as Chimera pulled her into the passage, having had all her attention on the skeletal dragon, but noticed the passage close behind them. "Thanks, Chimera."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leslie made a face at Bone as she moved to keep pace with him for ease of conversation. "Well excuse me for valuing my life. Besides, the others probably already got the darn thing already. If we keep running around like chickens with our heads cut off, we'll just end up lost and the others won't be able to find us. Let's just stay put, keep quiet, and hope the skeletons don't find us."

Selena picked herself up off the ground. She reached into her pocket for a flashlight and turned it on. "Here's hoping that dragon can't break down the door," she said, looking at the closed passage door.

Nitrox tapped his Scope. "Look, my Scope is creating a map of the place as we speak. Wherever we go, we can find our way back. The best room to be in is the big room. It's most likely the key to getting out of here."
He then sighed. "Since nobody is really being productive, I'll lead. I'll have the best reaction time to traps."
He fired up his NX and headed through the new secret passage that Bone opened up.

((Okay this got stale, and not what I was hoping, so time for my magic fast forward button))

Wandering the tunnels brings Malistyrax and his group into a small chamber with an old half rotted glove on a pedestal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks to Nitrox's leadership the group ends up in a chamber with nothing but a small whistle laying on a pedestal. "Great job imbecile, you led us into another trap!" Bone yells as a large golem made of large bones assembles itself.

((oooh... magic fast forward button... yay!))

Alexis looked at the glove on the pedestal curiously. "What's that thing supposed to be? If it's some sort of artifact, it looks like it's about to fall apart."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leslie gave a sonic yell at the bone golem. "Oh this is just great... trapped by another headache of a monster."

Selena approached the pedestal, heart racing. She had been waiting a long time to find this glove, but now that she had she didn't dare touch it in case another trap went off. "This belonged to a young hero named Max who traveled with Zanek. I've been trying to find this glove for almost five years now; if my suspicions are correct, it can unlock information that will add a great deal to my research," Selena said over her shoulder to Alexis. "Shame it's almost destroyed, though..."

"Hey, why don't you try next time? You must have no brains to think that there are no traps left in the place!"
Nitrox ran forward and grabbed what looked to be a leg bone. He picked it up and carried it away. Then he took a kunai and sawed the bone in half as fast as he could, focusing the NX into his arm to speed up the sawing.
"Better disassemble this before it builds!" he shouted at everyone.

Being hollow, and magic, Amp's yell does little other than scatter the somewhat assembled golem's bones.

The femur not only resist getting sawed in half, but it in actually repairs itself so quickly until Nitrox's kunai is trapped inside the femur.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don't you know anything about magic?" Bone yells. "One bone powers the others, that's simple conservation of energy. You can't miss the powered bone. Just as Bone says it, a glowing blue skull rolls across the floor past Amp and Nitrox's feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Listen," Lycan says to Alexis and Selena. THere is something making alot of noise on the other side of this wall.

"Move," Malistyrax says, readying Darkscale.

Alexis moved to a suitable position, readying her swords. "Selena, grab the glove. I think this is as good a time as any to find a way back to the others.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leslie grabbed her rarely used mace and chased after the rolling skull. She took aim and swung at it in such a way that, even if she didn't destroy the thing in one swipe, it would be batted away from the rest of the assembling bones.

Selena gingerly picked up the glove and encased it in a very small time sphere so as not to cause it any more damage. She gently placed it in her pocket and moved away from the wall, gripping her scythes tightly.

Nitrox jumped away from the bone and sensed some heat on the other side of a nearby wall. This may get interesting...
