“Do I sleep it?”
“Let’s go people.”
“Medusa head?”
“Hey, let’s go!”
“Sleep or no?!”
The party was quickly putting plans together as the albino ape continued to smash at the door, bending the frame ad he pushed his weight against it, scrabbling through the opening to try and move the cabinet but failing.
"We should deal with George here and now if we can,” Lannis offered, reaching in his pouch and tossing Lyra an INCENSE CONE, “surprise monkey attacks seem less than ideal for our future endeavors.” He pointed at it. “Light it!”
“With what?” she asked as Abraxas made his way to the door, taking his large sack out and feeling around on the outside.
“How about the sparks from your fangs?” Lannis quipped.
Kovid pushed his way over, lantern held up. “I’ll help”. Meanwhile Brendon silently made his way over to the far east door and bent down to listen and Wyn eyed the shelf with the ornate flasks and proceeded to pluck them off one at a time.
Looking at the Ape, Abraxas reached into the large sack and grabbed the mummified head of the gorgon within. “Avert your oyos, amigos! Gorgon head is coming out! I'm sorry Señor Appa, this head is for you!" And then he presented it at the Ape with arm extended, legs spread, and shoulders squared.
And nothing happened. The face of the gorgon had been too ruined and the eyes long ago burst from the elven priestess of Theystra. "Fuck. Ok, eat it then!" He tossed head to Ape (>Blue 13) through the gap in the door. "Enjoy Señor!"
The Ape picked up the head, sniffed it (Reaction roll: Orange 4 & 1 – Angry) and roared in fury. He smashed the head into the door and then bit down hard, the sound of the skull crackling was very obvious to the group. It raised its foot and then went to kick at the door some more. Kovid and Lyra had managed to get the edge of the incense cone lit (Light fire +1, Red/Black 3) and the cone proceeded to smoke a bit, the air become scented with the temple incense.
Meanwhile throughout it all, not having any time for a deep search, Brendon listened to the door (<Hear Noise, Red 15) and was confident that there was nothing in the next room making any sounds. He held up a single thumb and Kovid and Lyra dropped the incense near the tub and pressed closer motioning him to open it.
At this point, the Ape was close to smashing the door further in when Lannis standing by Abraxas raised his hands up and channeled the forces of magic, turning his hands grey and crackling – and then let forth a burst of energy with a single syllable “ZU!” as the spellblast streaked out, across the cabinet room, and through the door to smash into the Ape and then blossom out almost 20’. (4d4 hd: 4=4=3=2 – 13 hd total).
The Ape gave a confused roar, slumped forward, and then collapsed down quieting off and just lying there as Lannis exhaled a shaky breath and Abraxas shut the door closed. “Good job, Senor!”
Wyn nodded at Lannis. “Well done, Monsieur.”
As for the other three, they had followed Brendon as he pushed the door open to reveal a room covered in mosaics. Floor, walls, ceiling. There was a DOOR on the NORTH wall just inside this one and a SECOND DOOR further in the room beyond the cut out, with a bit of steam leaking underneath. The mosaic tiles showed elves in fanciful armor riding pegasi and griffons. An elf in a crown with 7 crystals on it. A beautiful woman looking much like Ishtari hiding behind a tree and watching. Mermaids swimming in a pool by a sleeping white dragon. Half naked elves frolicking by blue water, all looking at a black rock sticking out of the waves with a crab perched there.
While looking about (Brendon: <Red 25, Lyra >White 18, Kovid >Yellow 8) took in the designs and still apparent newness look of the tiles as well as the skill required to make it. But Brendon was checking out the east wall and he caught an irregularity there – right between the upraised claws of the crab perched on the rock…was a key hole.
“…” Brendon muttered.

The flasks are all see through, cut glass, and have some sort of liquid in them – equal to 2 ounces in each. If you carry them in a box, pack, or sack, they will most likely open.
Kovid, you have about 1/3 oil left in your lantern (maybe 2 hours tops). Ape is asleep for some time. Incense cone is lit and is in the bathroom. Door is closed.
