As Nicholas fiddles with the gem, he notes that it appears to be a key. "Hey, Trix, this might not be too useful now, but maybe it'll come in handy later," he says, showing her the key.
In his head, he thinks "Bloody idiots, makings perfectly good gems into keys, ruins their resale value, and they're flimsy to boot! Likely to snap first time you use it, particularly if it's Trix doing the using."
Seeing that the others have miraculously managed to open the door without killing anybody, he heads back around the corner to peer into the room beyond. He is careful to keep an eye on Trix and have the sword and gem visible in his open hands.

Sim stands, poised purposfuly at the open door, there is a moment when he looks as though he thinks he knows something the others don't. A look that says, Only I, Wizard, could know these things. Sim smirks and steps into the great hall before him. already a spell of detect magic is on his lips but he knows.....the eyes, the eyes give them away. trixy little sparkles to lure the unwary to a bitter...or is that bitten hehe, end. Snickerpuss's eyes stay sharp, even were there no dangers lurking here, the serpents set his fur on end. He was reminded all to keenly of predator and prey in these halls. Like that wolf. Snickerpuss only hoped that Sims wizardly herbs and potions masked the smell of one small rodent in a giants world.

Trix feels rather put out that her pretty new sword has turned out to be "defective." She decides it might actually be fun to take out her anger on some of the other monsters in the dungeon and heads toward the opened door.

<Hendrick stands gawking at the Mural depicting the gardens.>
Sweet Lady <he whispers to himself> Why is such beautiful works hidden down here in this wretched place?
<he reaches up a hand to feel the tactile sensation of the beautiful mural before him>

*As Hendrick's hand brushes against the garden mural, he can now smell freshly cut grass, and the mixed aroma of flowers, enducing in him a soothing, relaxed feeling. He feels renewed, as if he had had a long restful sleep. Moving slowly among the flowers is a garter snake with glistening crystal clear eyes. It makes it way to where Hendrick is standing and moves upward towards his hand. Suddenly, it hisses and its eyes shoot outward, hitting Hendrick in the chest and falling to the fall.*
*Hendrick will find, if he happens to look down at his feet, two diamonds, 1 inch in diameter, worth 2,000gp each.*

<Hendrick closes his eyes and breathes deep the fresh scents of the garden. He then hears the hissing and looks into the mural his eyes going wide when he sees what was making the noise.>
Basheeba's warty Arse!!! <he swears, fumbling for his club.>
<the diamonds hit him in the chest and he swings his club wildly around.>
HA!! TAKE THAT YOU GIANT SPITTING VERMIN!!
<Hendrick then realizes that the hissing noise has ceased and thinking he has vanquished his foe takes a peek around, noting the glint of the diamonds at his feet>
Ho Ho!! What is this! <he exclaimes as he bends down to pick up the diamonds.> Tis a gift from Sweet Lady Luck for my vigilance against the ills of her sister.

Sim strolls into the middle of the hall before the halfling could check for traps and moving to a nearby mural, begins to scrutinize the engravings. So life like, they seem that as Sim is about to trace the contours of the mural, snickerpuss nips him on the shoulder. Sim only grumbles and steps back as the Cleric investigates a nearby mural of his oun. Sim approaches to confer with the Viking when he spies the snake as it leaps out of the wall and he ducks as the Viking Cleric swings his club, narrowly missing Sim's head. Seeing that the snake is gone he stands with a huff.
"Enouph! Put that skull crusher down before you do some real damage, AHhh! Don't touch those, you may live to regret it."
Sim hurries to where the diamonds lay and squats, pokeing at them, then he picks one up and calling for light examines it while absently waving a hand.
"TOUCH NOTHING! Our lives may depend on keeping our hands to ourselves."
He rises, eyeing the theif, then taking the diamond in hand moves to the opposite wall and unshoulders his pack. He sits beside it, taking out a large tomb and begins to read from it after casting a light spell. After a few moments he leans back against the wall to contemplate the text on GEMS AND THEIR MAGICAL PROPERTIES

<Hendrick had picked one of the diamonds up and was ready to get the other when the crazy mage swept by talking about doom and danger grabbing the other diamond and running off to the corner.>
<blink>
Uhhh...what?
<Hendrick walks to the corner where the mage sits flipping through pages and muttering to himself.>
Pardon me <taps the mages on the shoulder> could you please return that. It is a gift from Tymora to one of her faithful.

(OOC - since Kaber did not post which mural is behind the wall Sim is sitting against, I'll roll to choose. *rolls d6* Oh...oh dear....oh my....that's not good....for Sim that is)
*As Sim leans against the wall, the mural behind him begins to come to life. Damp earth, clean rain drift outward to assail the nostrils of both Sim and Hendrick; the sounds of twittering birds, howling monkeys and the rustling of undergrowth fill the room.*
*Slowly, slipping through the undergrowth, a large reptile slides out and down towards the mage. A forked tongue, the length of a small child's arm, fickers to taste the air around it. Sliding over the mage's left shoulder, moving across his chest and around his back. Ruby red eyes glittering with hunger as the giant python begins towrap itself around the mage to position itself for the crush which will make Sim ready for devouring.*
*Behind Hendrick, a second python slides out of the mural and makes its way silently towards the cleric's legs.*

Seeing the snakes come out of the wall, Nick steps forward, dagger in hand.
"Ware! More snakes are attacking!"
While alerting the tall folk to this new danger, he strikes at the nearest snake.

<Hendrick's eyes widen when he sees the python wraaping the mage, he hears the little one cry out but is already deep in prayer to his goddess.>
<whispering> [glow=yellow,2,300]Tymora, I pray thee, grant us your sweet blessing that we may smite our foes, the minions of your dark sister.[/glow]
<Hendrick casts bless on the party>

Trix's original impulse was to pass by the room of murals on her way to find something to smash. Beautiful though they might be, even her somewhat less-than-adequate brain told her that it would be slightly impractical to try to carry off a whole wall as loot. When she heard the halfling cry out, she looked around to find the unfortunate snake that had apparently decided that today would be a good day to die. Raising her club, she strides forward to do some snake "whacking." Even as she hastens towards the wizard's aid she mumbles
"Bloody stupid things, wizzerds. Making' magic stuff then they go gettin' caught by it. Bloody ^$#! $#%^#$ stupid %!$#&%^E #%^%& wizzerdly %$#!&."

Sim, distracted by the Clerics words looks up.
"Oh! Why of course these are perfectly harm.....Bahamuts beard!"
Sim jumps but already a large reptile has coiled itself around his legs and waist. A high pitched, whistling shriek escapes Snickerpuss as he leaps off of the wizard, then shrieks again at the snake coming for the Barbarian Cleric. Snickerpuss freezes then squeezes his eyes shut and turns invisible. Sim begins to cast magic missiles.

*Casting Bless upon the party, Hendrick enables a +1 to all attacks and saves. Nicholas' dagger strikes the python behind the cleric, but only causes the snake to now direct its attention to the halfling. The snake is large enough to engulf the halfling easily within its mouth.*
*Trix, coming forward to help Sim, now finds herself holding the stump of her club, which was destroyed by one of Sim's magic missles. Sim's 2nd missle hits one of the murals behind him, what once appears as a rocky crag is now just plain stone wall with burnt markings.*
*The snake winding around Sim prepares to do its first attack - bite, before constricting.*

Sims eyes gleam as he unleashes his spell. His disapointment is apparent only for a moment. Ahh the luck of a Wild Mage.
Snickerpuss, seeing his master in danger finds sudden courage and in panic charges up Sims robes to bite the attacking serpent on the tounge, perhaps giving sim enouph time to cast another spell.
