I'm in full agreement, all for one (me) and all at once!

Laira Elereth suggests, "Everyone stand around the square and count to 3 then?"

Sanem steps on to the platform with Persephone on his shoulder.

Sanem steps on to the platform with Persephone on his shoulder. Sanem feels a palpable plane of force beneath his feet, but nothing happens. It appears that the platform will just sit here until someone who has worked out how commands it to rise. |

Gabe nods at the advice, then hands two of the vials to Harknail, "Two for you, two for me." He grins and walks over to the elevator, "So shall we ascend?" "I thank thee, Gabe", replies Harknail. |

It appears that the platform will just sit here until someone who has worked out how commands it to rise. Once everyone is aboard, Zynthis will try several command phrases until he finds one that works. He will try each word first in common, then in goblin. "Up.... Rise.... Go Up.... Top Level.... " |

Gabe will take a moment to study the lift before getting on it, seeing if he can determine what the activation word is by studying the arcane energies surrounding the platform.

As Gabe is studying, Zynthis keeps trying random phrases "SuperCaliFragilIsticExpiAla-Uppa-Discous"  When Zynthis says his magic word, the platform starts rising slowly above the roof. Above them the trap door drops open to either side to clear the way. It only takes about 6 seconds for the platform to reach the floor above. Those who had studied the platform realize that Zynthis had accidently included the key phrase in his made up magic word. "Up a disk" was the command to raise the platform while "Down a disk" was the command to lower it. The room above was much smaller, only 25 wide by 30 deep. To the right (SW corner) was a stone column, continued from below. Large book cases line the north wall, west wall, and south east corner. There is a door roughly in the center of the east wall. Facing the platform is a large desk. The desk has two light fixtures, each emitting a small jet of flame, providing plenty of light on the surface of the desk. |

Zynthis immediately exits the platform to stand in front of the desk. "Let's create some cover using this desk and maybe some of these book cases before opening that door." Zynthis suggests.

"Great idea." Gabe hops off the platform and makes a quick search of the room, "I'd be wary about making too much noise though. Pulling the book shelves down might be a bit noisy. I'll give a hand with the desk." He stops opposite Zynthis and grabs onto the under side of the desk, preparing to lift it with help, "where to, do you suppose? Ten feet from the door, so a couple can duck under behind it?"

"Okay, nobody say the words "up" or "down" followed by "a" and "disk" until we are ready to move on."
Then, as Zack sees what the other two are doing: "Wait, stop! At least look to see what is on the desk before dumping it out for some crude cover!"
Zack rushes over to save anything fragile looking on the desk.

Laira Elereth is going to walk straight up to the desk (on the only remaining side no one is standing next to) and then start searching it. After finishing this task, she will look through the bookcases.

Thursagan will move towards the door, ready to block any potential attack that may come from there.

Laira Elereth is going to walk straight up to the desk (on the only remaining side no one is standing next to) and then start searching it. After finishing this task, she will look through the bookcases. The desk is a large reading desk (about 10' by 4'), with no storage. The top was clear other than the two reading lamps, flexible things attacked to the desk. The books were interesting though. The first thing Laira noticed as the others muscled the desk into position was that these books had no layer of frost. Obviously magically protected, Laira delayed touching any of the books. The spines were not labeled though, so there was little that could be determined without touching them. |

Zynthis: "I'm going to have Sart check the door." In Goblin <Sart, go listen at the door and check to see if it is locked or trapped but do not open it, understand?>

Zynthis: "I'm going to have Sart check the door." In Goblin "Sart, go listen at the door and check to see if it is locked or trapped but do not open it, understand?" Sart goes up and listens at the door, then steps back and examines it, finally checking the latch itself. She reports (in goblin of course) < I don't hear anything on the other side. I don't see any traps, but the door is locked. Do you want me to unlock it?> |

Zynthis to the party: "She says she didn't hear anything and the door is locked. What do you all want to do?"

"Have her unlock it, quietly." Gabe looks to the rest of the group, "While she does so we should ready ourselves for trouble." Gabe stepped up beside the door, smiling warmly at Sart, and readied his Glaive for the trouble he was anticipating.
