Return [To Madness]: Act 1, Scene 2

A classic 2e Puzzle dungeon for High Level characters
Beware, this one is substantially longer and (IMHO) even harder than the legendary Tomb of Horrors!

Ke'Sha peeks to the pit, and Gur unable to control himself lands on his master shoulder and peeks down as well. "It's dead." Ke'Sha states the obvious. "Probably smelled you." his lips twitch slightly in an almost undetectable smile.

(OOC: Reading Stephen thoughts ;) are there any magical items?)

Gur scans the pit through the dead gel, but nothing registers as magical

Sounds like Jack wants to go in? How is he getting down?

"You have that spell that let me fly around ready again Jag?"

"Indeed." Jag will cast fly on Jack.

He will then proceed to float down checking out the walls on the way down, slowly.
============================================================================
Can Jag get the hand to block the door with no target? Or does it need a target to start moving?
If the original opponent is slain, the caster can designate a new opponent for the hand. The caster can command the hand out of existence at any time.

(OOC: If you can move the hand, Jack can be the 'opponent' and the hand will 'block' him from falling while you move it downwards. Unless the hand tries to kill it... not sure which hand version is it.)

Axid replies to Stephen's question, "I can move objects. However it is one at a time and can be taxing to do so in terms of psp's and so if there is something that someone might want that seems to be worth it I can try. That being said now that the cube is 'bleeding' on the items they might be damaged."

[using Jack as the target would probably work best/ easiest given the spell description.

Jag begins casting his spell, waving a bird feather around the roguish Jack. Shortly the casting is complete and the human rises easily into the air. Jack descends and begins to search the walls of the pit area. After 20 minutes or so he is convinced there is nothing hidden along the walls, he hovers just above the gelatinous mass. From here he can more clearly see the objects below... some seemingly random coins, a buckler, a dented helm, the blade of a short sword, dagger and what may be a small purple gemstone.

Leaving the hand where it is for now Jag just watches over the edge.
=======================
Well, let's see if it is still mean after being dead this long." Jack sticks his finger in the goo.
