What would that default to? Also, how big is the portal frame? Is it a standard door size, made out of adamantine? How thick is the frame? Trying to get a physical picture of what I am working with.

The entire hallway of the guest level is paneled in rare wood;
the door is standard 8'x4' size and has brass hinges and handle.
Engineering is IQ-6.  You are no artificer, although you have the notes of the former one...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 902):

Can Gareth garner anything from those notes with regard to the gate, and how to shut it off?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 903):

The trap artificer's notes do not pertain to this level at all

In reply to Narrator (msg # 902):

Is this door the same gateway to another dimension that the critters were coming through before it was deactivated? That is the only door of interest.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 905):

This doorway was previously an active gate; it is deactivated now, by Berry.

You have no spells yourself in this area and as far as you can tell the gate was activated when you smashed in the front door.

the rest of the party is satisfied with Berry's work, and are heading to the library...

Amelia does a little skip at the prospect of finding the library.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 906):

Begrudgingly, Gareth, still concerned the gate could be reactivated, follows the others to the library. There is much research he wishes to do there...

No one has made their way into the Master's chamber. Safwan hasn't been there, the door is magelocked.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 909):

Another location of interest, but Gareth does not want to split the party...there are many locations of interest if he has time.

you make your way back to the former location of the truth telling knights the reavers destroyed.

are you going through the dart corridor or the one with the writing under the carpet ?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 911):

Gareth is aware of the writing under the carpet. Can he erase those runes?

Another skilled practitioner could reopen the gate, but they could also make a new one. We're robbing the place. I know trying to do good is tempting but we shouldn't give in. I'd be happy with some choice picks from the library.

In reply to Berry (msg # 913):

"Fair comment. Yes, knowledge from the library as well as some expensive stuff to sell would suit me to."

But can we neutralize the runes under the carpet as we keep travelling there?

In reply to Gareth (msg # 914):

They are an enchantment of sorts, you may need dispell magic just to temporarily nullify them.

Think very deeply as to how they might be bypassed...

IQ-6

In reply to Narrator (msg # 915):

Gareth thinks very deeply...no, the darts is not a good way to bypass them.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 916):

That was a roll to recall something you may have seen...
Anyone else can roll at IQ-6, Safwan at IQ-2

The Adept pauses and muses for a bit before hissing out an answer.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 918):

When Safwan carried someone, they were safe; doubtless the master or someone with their regalia might be safe, such as the guest robes and slippers

In reply to Narrator (msg # 919):

"I have an idea, lets grab some of the guests slippers. Oh, wait, I have some here we took earlier..."

He puts on the robe and slippers taken earlier. OOC: I believe we grabbed some when we were in the guest room...

"Ready to test the carpet with runes under it?"

Amelia copycats Gareth.

"Now the house defenses should be more hospitable."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 922):

"That might have been nice to know earlier. Back to the library, via the runes on the floor?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 923):

npcd
"There are urm things I may not volunteer unless specifically asked."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 924):

Gareth walks as he talks.

"Such as? How do I specifically ask if I am note sure what to ask?"
