A new idea struck me. "Leetzan," I addressed our summoner, "I need a Mythslayer. I want to try something.
She nodded with agreement, but added "Shuri, w4tch out with the summons. We never know when we could b3 under attack and need them."
"Don't worry," I said as she raised her hand, calling forth a green light. The mythslayer, clad in a long black coat and with a sword in his hand, stepped out of the greenness, striking an overly dramatic pose.
"What evil calls for my blade at this hour?" the Mythslayer asked in his usual mysterious voice.
"Puzzles. Follow me." I told the rest of the party to remain there and investigate the room further and led the mythslayer north to the room with the inscription. A deep chasm reached down as far as the eye could see to either side, split by a narrow, icy, luminescent walkway down the middle towards the inscription. "I need you to walk directly towards the carving on that wall, then turn 90 degrees left and take a step forward."
The Mythslayer looked out across the bridge and then back at me. "There's a pit."
"I think it might be fake. There was this cryptic poem thing that says to step off the edge. Like in Indiana Jones."
The Mythslayer hesitated a moment, then reluctantly strode out on the walkway. When he reached the end he looked briefly at the writing for himself. Probably deriving the same interpretation, he turned left, stepped forward, and fell off the cliff. "Ccuuuuuurrrrsssseeee yoooooooooouuuuuu....." I heard him call as he fell, followed by a "..uuu - Hey, I found evil!" and the sound of claws tearing a person apart limb by limb. I thought it would be better not to mention this to L33tz4n.
