The party climbs up to the kitchen to gather themselves and dry them up.
Re construct --
"Well to be honest I had no idea it was an autonomous construct; I thought it's an apparatus that needs someone to drive and direct. This is why I didn't warn you in advance. But it did not change the fact that it did not attack me when I was there alone. And of course, Mister Dwarf can call it `luck`."
Re sword hilt --
Murkatos takes the hilt into his hands (if Lugar allows) and examines the bluish metal it's made of; the mummy wrap; the pommel that looks like a hard-boiled egg cut in half (oval in shape and flat when looking from the crossguard); and the crossguard that looks like the claws of an eagle (three prongs forward, one backward). Pointing at a nonfigurative emboss on the pommel he says. "This is the legendary sword that evokes the power of light. I wonder how it works; if it works at all. Anyway, great catch!"
Re rest --
Maul shakes his head.
"Rest is a luxury we cannot afford without losing Merri. Remember that we don't even know how long the gate back to our world remains open."
Re door --
OOC - great observations; will credit to players but IC will play as if it came from one of the "smarter" characters
Murkatos explains the anti-magic field.
"It is centered on the iron wall so maybe it's permanent and the iron wall has the ability to block the field when the door is closed. But if it's just a secondary trap triggered by the wall getting opened then it may be an ordinary spell, not a permanent one, that dissipates over time. In this case, the door would remain open but anti magic would no longer be part of the picture."
Lugar thinks that if he can make it up to the ceiling (about five feet above water) he may be able to reach the same runes and touch them to discharge more shocking energy. How to channel it to the construct is a good question.
Closing the iron wall is another good question. Maybe if he rotated some runes over and over again?
OOC - does Giant show the dagger he grabbed to someone?
