 +
 +
{{Mahina}} moves into the larger room (28) 20’ by 70’ the east wall has a forcefield.  The southern end has 4 holes in the floor, spaced 10 feet apart.  She tells {{Nora}} about the room.

 +
 +
{{Mahina}} carries all the gnome-sized boys across the acid pool.

{{Merry}} declines healing and {{Nora}} heals {{Tempest}} with another CLW
  
  
==Questing==
 
  
 +
===The Keys & the Keyholes===
  
  
 +
{{Merry}} passes out the keys to {{Tempest}}, {{Nora}}, {{Mahina}}, and himself.
  
 +
Once turned, the party hears a click and forcefield drops instantly.
  
 +
The party leaves the keys in the keyholes. {{Merry}} checks to see if the acid has gone down at all. {{Nora}} mentions about taking back out the keys. The party discusses it.
  
 +
{{Book}} is extremely ambivalent. The party decides to move on without the keys for now but then it occurs to them that if someone removes the keys, they could be trapped. {{Tempest}} tries to weigh the odds.
  
 +
The party decides to pull the keys out simultaneously and the forcefield goes back up, so they put them back in simultaneously to take the forcefield back down.
  
 +
The party now faces a choice- door number one or door number two.
