* Clarc rolls: 1d8 +1 => 8 + 1 = 9
    Yue Strike:     So you wanna check out what's up with this metal thing in
his chest?

* Juir releases all physcial disguise.
    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Yeah...but how? I'd rather not make it scream again.

* Yue Strike searches the chest area, careful not to touch the body,
checking every area she can.
* Juir is now a creepy, no gender, pale haired, blank eyed, grey being
with big wings.
    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Can you move it magically?

Clarc:     Interesting form

Clarc:     Is that ...uhm... would you call it natural

*/The body appears to be a human body, now headless adn with several..
pieces.. bent at awkward angles. Nothing helpful can be seen./*
* Heirthyr Fullthorn glances at Juir but concentrates on the body
    Yue Strike:     Given its distate for any touch I doubt a magical one
would do any good.

* Juir glides his fingers across the chest like s rugeon cutting it open
    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Well, if this was linked to Garreth...would he be
dead already?

    Yue Strike:     Its headless, you'd better hope its not linked.

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Yeah..

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     ...I don't see any other way but to cut it out

Clarc:     Heirthry you got that mirrow in you bag still?

*/The screaming begins again, and the skin begins to ripple. Where juir
slid his finger, a cut appears/*
* Heirthyr Fullthorn winces
* Juir reaches in for the glinty thing
*/Bones are in the way/*
Clarc:     Give me your mirror please?

Clarc:     If you ahve it

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Um, sure.

*/Rib bones/*
* Juir tap them? Saw them with tip.
*/At a tap, the bones snap, and the screams become louder/*
* Clarc reflects the beam of light away from the body
* Heirthyr Fullthorn takes his mirror from his HH and hands it to Clarc
* Clarc uses the mirror to do so
* Heirthyr Fullthorn exits the room, not really wanting to hear the
screaming
*/After several taps, the creature's heart is visible, obviously a key,
and it lets out a final scream doing 1d4 damage./*
* yue strike rolls: 1d4 => 3
* Deveyus rolls: 1d4 => 3
Clarc:     Nothing i geuss

Clarc:     here ya go.

* Clarc hands it back over.
* Clarc rolls: 1d4 => 2
* Heirthyr Fullthorn waits till the screaming is over and enters the
room once more, taking the mirror back and putting it back in his HH
    Yue Strike:     Well, I gotta say, didn't see your boss as a screamer ...

*/With the removal of its heart, the figure quickly melts into a pile of
the silver liquid. The liquid quickly dissintigrates into nothing. 14
gems are left behind/*
    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     If that was the general...

* Yue Strike quickly taps one of the gems and pulls back.
*/The heart is a key, with a vaguely heart shaped handle/*
*/The gem does nothing/*
* Yue Strike loads the gems into her bag.
    Yue Strike:     Shiny shiny ^^

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Heh...so where does the key go?

    Yue Strike:     Your heart?

Clarc:     to a door.
* Yue Strike shakes her head and reaches for her belt.
* yue strike rolls: 2d8 => 3
* Yue Strike once more reaches down and lifts Juir up to his feet.
Clarc:     can i get that key?

    Yue Strike:     Really, twice in the same area? Your slipping Juir.

    Juir:     I don't much care for his singing.

    Yue Strike:     Yeah, he was a bit off key.

* Heirthyr Fullthorn chuckles
    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Won't work as a bard..
    Yue Strike:     So, should we see if your key fits that door?
*/The door swings open on a room with 5 columns, each depicting a
different object. The nearest one has the face of a weasle drawn on it.
The next one, a few sprigs of grass are drawn. One has a rat, one a
star, and one a wolf. Each column has a small lever on the back, all of
the levers are in a raised position. Directly opposite the entrance is
another door./*
Clarc:     Walks into

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     Five levers...one door?

    Heirthyr Fullthorn:     I wonder...a progression?

* Clarc pulls the lever with the grass?
*/The lever clicks down, and it resets itself/*
* Yue Strike pulls on the wolf lever.
* Clarc pulls wolf
*/The lever clicks down and resets itself. In the south end of the room,
a door slides open to reveal 2 dire wolves/*
* Clarc gives out a yelp
* Yue Strike pulls the star.
