-Lockner raises the tablet. The brimstone, does not stop above her or dissipate, but simply doesn't hit her, and not one drop of the stuff falls within five metres of her as she dashes for the cover of the tomb-

-The entry to the tomb is dark. Three horizontal lines, parallel to each other, run along the left side of the passageway, disappearing into the gloom.-

(Sorry I'm late, troper duty.)

-Taking a chance, Mackenzie darts after the archaeologist-

-The air in the tomb is surprisingly warm, almost fetid. It seems to blow from inside the passageway.-

-Pierre and Nwosu dash inside, firing sporadically at the shadow above as a black miasma forms above to shield them from the brimstone; the Baron's voice can be heard laughing in the distance-

-Lockner darts down the passageway, gesturing for Mackenzie to follow, attempting to get away from the AREM fighters-

(A dragon? You only wish. I have read the entire Killer GM and Rock Falls Everyone Dies pages in preparation for this moment. I have transcended the chains of pity and mercy towards other players. I am the lava flood and the T-Rex on the plains. I am the GMPC in all its horror, the Goddamned Bats in all their multitudes. I am the spawner of overpowered monsters and the ender of life. I AM THE DESTROYER OF GAMES... AND I SHALL BE YOUR END!!!)

(We apologize for the previous outburst. The lunatic behind the keyboard has been sent to a small room until he stops hyperventilating.)

-A loud rumbling is heard as the rocks above the tomb's entrance begin to slide downwards under the rain of brimstone. Very soon the passageway is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.-

Ogoun: I do.

-seconds later, the Lwa of War appears in the passage, his molten sword drawn and glowing with its firey light-

Ogoun: It may yet come to that, Briton. For now, however, we must proceed; there are worse things in this tomb than imperialist invaders, if Rosen's spirit spoke the truth.

-The passage goes on for a great distance, such that even the light of the burning sword fails to illuminate it completely, sloping so gently as to be unnoticeable.-

-Lockner cautiously walks forward, making sure to keep well within the area illuminated by the sword before stopping. She picks up a rock and throws it down the tunnel, followed by another and another-

-Pierre and Nwosu keep a sharp eye out as they advance, ready to open fire at the first sign of trouble-

-Spring-mounted spears burst from the walls where the stone hits a pressure plate.-

-A rumbling is heard, as the first plate activates the rest of the traps.-

Aww no...

-Lockner swings around, holding the tablet at arm's length-

-Mackenzie, acting on pure instinct, dives to the ground-

This is not my day!

-A low whistle is heard, and nothing else. Far off, a rythmic pounding starts up.-

-A wall of flame erupts to surround Ogoun, shielding him from the spears; his compatriots have no such protection, and the Chief of the Resistance and his Boer subordinate are forced to jink and juke in order to avoid the incoming blades-

(What I actually meant was that the spears were hidden in the wall and jammed into the opposite wall, going through the person who'd triggered the trap. But yours works too.)

-Another volley of spears hurtles down the passageway. However, they fall shot of the party, instead hitting the ground and splintering.—

Now, Lwa, seeing as you are protected from the spears, it seems logical for you to go first. My tablet only goes so far.

Lockner's tablet is essentially a powerful literal good luck charm.

(Reroll a failed dexterity check, that kinda thing?)

-The far-off drumming continues.-
