Nogeko, Daniel, Seiberg, and Flurrie step out of the elevator, leaving behind Hope, La Rena, and Waite. "Good luck you guys." Hope waves goodbye while La Rena heads off to bed so she can sleep more. Waite just stands there and watches. The elevator door closes and the party is left standing in the torch lit corridor.
What will you do?

Seiberg examines the ancient writings and deciphers them. "Dragon's rage will make you die, so watch your step or arrows will fly. It is repeated on the walls multiple times. It is likely a hint to surviving these ruins. They're likely littered with traps." The party advances carefully into the next room, finding that it's wide open. Dragon statues stand at the sides of the room. The floor has tiles containing different pictures on them. They depict other dragons with different expressions on their faces.

Inspecting the tiles closer, there's happy dragon tiles, sad dragon tiles, and angry dragon tiles. There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern in them, but most of the tiles are angry dragons.

Seiberg makes his way across the happy dragons carefully. He stops in front of one of the dragon statues and inspects it carefully. "These are ancient machines created to fight off intruders. It looks like they fire flaming arrows if triggered. It's best we try to avoid the angry dragon. I'm unsure what the sad dragons do though..."

Flurrie floats over a happy dragon tile, but it seems that she doesn't effect the floor tiles. Since she doesn't stand on them, she's unaffected. Flurrie notices a side path made up entirely of angry dragon tiles leading to a treasure chest.

Flurrie floats over to the treasure chest and opens it up as the floor beneath her falls out to reveal a pit of spikes. She floats above the pit and takes out a mysterious staff from the chest. Flurrie received the Rain Staff! She places it away before floating back and reporting to the others. The floor restores to normal with the same tiles as before.

Flurrie leads the way forward and the party reaches an open room that is very dark. There are no lit torches in here and the party cannot see. Except for Nogeko. He can see in the dark due to his cat eyes. He notes that there are three torches that are not lit standing around an odd platform. A large door is shut tightly at the end of the hall and a diamond with an eye sits above it.
What will you do?

Nogeko leads Seiberg to each of the torches and has him light them. With all three torches lit, the room is visible by everyone. A small key also drops down from above onto the stone platform. Nogeko hops up and grabs it before storing it away. The door forward is still shut and the eye above it stares at the party.
What will you do?

Daniel looks at Nogeko. "Do you have something we can shoot the eye with?"
Nogeko takes out his Triple Bow and launches an arrow into the eye. "It's easier when the target doesn't move I guess." The door opens up as the eye closes itself. The party moves onward to the next room. Swinging axes that are on fire move back and forth throughout the hall.
"What is with these guys and fire?"

Seiberg and Daniel combine Thunder and Blizzard together to create a Gravity spell on the first swinging axe, making it stop in the center position before Flurrie blows out the flames with a gust of wind. The party then continues through past the first axe, using the same technique on the second axe and then the third. Finally, they reach the end of the hall. In the next room, they find two different doors. Luckily, this room is lit up with torches. One door is red and slightly open and the other door is shut tightly with a lock on it. Maybe the small key will fit in it. A strange marking is in the center of the room as well. Some sort of magic sigil. It glows blue and has stars around it. Two different stars actually. Maybe you are supposed to place two different objects on them. You can hear someone's voice call out from help. But it's unknown where it came from. The voice simply echoes in everyone's ears quietly. "Someone's calling for help." Daniel looks around, confused.
"Be careful. It could possibly be a trap." Seiberg looks carefully around the room.
Flurrie seems a little confused by the voice. "It sounds familiar..."
What will you do?

Daniel smashes his shield into the partly opened, red door. It creates a loud banging sound, but the door doesn't move much. The door must only be partly opened because it's stuck.

John is released in the opening in the door. Using Strength, he pushes the door out of the way with only some difficulty. The area shakes quite a bit and it makes a loud sound moving across the ground, but the door is eventually opened. On the other side, a pool of lava sits in the floor. It seems to be flowing in like some kind of lava waterfall from the left side and then flows down into a dark abyss on the right side. A door sits across on the other side of the lava pool.
What will you do?

Flurrie and Seiberg combine Blizzard with Gale Force to create an icy breeze across the lava. This cools some of it, turning it into hardened stone, but from the flow of the lava, it only lasts in that spot a few minutes before falling off the edge of the lava fall.

Flurrie and Seiberg freeze the lava falls, momentarily revealing some sort of bright light from behind. They catch a glimpse of a glowing stone behind the lava fall. The hardened rock flows away shortly, however, and the mysterious stone covered up by lava again. Flurrie then one by one carries each of her allies across the lava to the other side. It takes some time, but is eventually done.

The party moves onward into the next room. Its walls are brightly lit with glowing writings and a staff sits on a pedestal in the center. Seiberg translates the writings. "This seems to be called...the Sun Staff. Another staff made to control the weather. The writings say that in order to receive the Sun Staff without the room burning us alive is to use the Rain Staff. Could that possibly be the staff you picked up earlier, Flurrie?"
"It just might be." Flurrie takes out the Rain Staff she had before and shows the ancient writings on it to Seiberg.
"Yes, this is definitely the Rain Staff. The inscriptions on it prove that."
