*Oh, not only does the wolf talk, it disappears! That's it! Next time I need money, I'm making a magic routine.* After replacing the dung, Spark walks over to the Vials.
I'll be taking these... He then retrieves his staff and, carefully, melts the goo off of it without burning the staff itself.
You all right now, Waldo? I suggest after getting your "toys" we divide up the gold. I'm going to go over these vials... try 'n' figure out what's what. Oh, and about the riddle... I think it's pie. Yup, good ole' three-point-one-four-one-five-nine-two-six-five-three-five-eight-nine-seven-nine-three-two-eight-four-six-two-six-four-three-three-eight-three-two-seven-nine-five... He continues rambling off numbers while studying the vials in color, smell, consistency... nearly anything safe; trying to think of anything that these may be.

The wolf suddenly appears next to Spark.
Be careful with those little one, they contain precious things indeed. 2 vials of light cure wounds, 1 of diminution, 1 of invisibility, and 1 of mild poison. But which vial is which, is for me to know, and you to figure out.....in the manner of your choosing.
Before Spark could blink, she was gone.

Tellyna shivered as she found herself at the top steps of what appeared to be a cellar. The air smelled moist and old and as she felt around she could tell that the walls were covered in lichen.
"Hmm... Well, there must be a torch around here some where..." She said as she felt around on the wall, but did not dare to move her feet from their place. Feeling something wooden, she grinned to herself. "Here we go, now, where's my flint?" She said as she took the torch from the wall and began digging in her cloak for her flint and steel, finding it, she lit the torch.
The stairs were covered in slime and lichen that had developed over time, but as she examined it some places of it had been stripped. "Hmm... Guess I'm not the only one to come down here today..." She said to herself as she tried to peer down the stairs, but could not see. Slowly, catiously, she began to decline the stairs, being careful not to slip or fall, she had a feeling that there was more to this place than there seemed. She wasn't about to leave anything to chance.
She stopped dead when she saw the rusting metal of a proticullis. "Curses!" She breathed as she stood there, thinking of a way to overcome it. "Those spikes look very sharp... I could climb over it... But what if the ends were tipped with poison? Well, I don't feel like finding out." She muttered to herself as she sat on the steps and studied the proticullis. "I have to get around that thing some how..." She sat there and thought for several minutes before hitting herself on the forehead.
"Of course! How stupid can I be? Levitation!" She said as she muttered a few words and levitated herself over the proticullis. Once on the other side, she smiled to herself, then carefully, begins to walk forward, but stops when the sound of voices and the eerie glow of torch light ahead of her catches her attention.
She walked forward quietly, not wanting them to notice her untill she had decided wether or not they were a threat.

*All right, this wolf thing could get annoying... but on the plus side, I'm getting some info.*
2 cure, 1 smallize, 1 invis. and 1 poison, eh? Well, I could attempt to Identify them, but that would take about 16 hours to prepare, identify, and restore me back to full health. There's always the possibility of just drinking one when we need something... but I don't like the idea of suddenly turning invisible when I'm bleeding to death... or poisoning myself when I need to fit in a 2-foot corridor. Any other ideas guys? 'Cus that's the only thing I can think of. Spark limps over to the weapons.
If we do rest here, we at least have a locked door in front of us, and a portcullis behind us. I believe I have a pearl on me somewhere, and I know I have my feathers. Unfortunately, I can only ID five items per go, and if these are magical also... then we'll have 3 things that we're clueless about. If these are magical, then in order to get a general idea of what they do, we'll need 32 hours, not including sleep, for me to "do my thang". *Too bad we only have me casting spells, otherwise this would take half as long.*
Could someone go over by the portcullis to stand watch while I get ready? ...Unless you guys have a better idea. Spark then begins shuffling through his cloak, looking for spell components.

"Well, this is interesting" Jarvin thought to himself as he peered down into the cellar, "seems that some people have passed this way allready, judging by the scuffed steps and missing torches." *pulling a torch of his own from his pack, he lights it with his flint and steel, and decends the stairs, as carefully and quietly as he can. Upon reaching the portcullis his curiosity is further piqued* "Hmm... they must really not want people in here.... now what could they be hiding?" he thinks to himself. "Now how does this work?" *Jarvin starts searching around the portcullis, walls, and stairway, looking for the mechanism that controls them*

Jarvin, hears a very growly
BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
from directly behind him
Turning he can see a very large, and well muscled Bengal Tiger, sitting on a step a couple feet from him
If you’re looking for a way to lower the portcullis, you won't find one. You must find a way over it. I would advise you to use caution as well. Although I wouldn’t be upset over a bit of fresh meat
With a lick of her lips and a flick of her tail, she vanishes

Tellyna, deciding it was pretty safe, stepped out and walked towards the group of men. Her hood pulled over her head hiding the fact that she was a girl and an elf. She didn't say anything, she instead walked a few feet from them, watching. She was affled by the riddle of the door.
More than likely it's something simple and I'm just thinking too much. She thought to herself. Hoping these men weren't hostile. I wonder what they're doing down here...

Waldo stands shakily to his feet, getting hold of his body again.
That's one experience that I do NOT want to repeat he complains. Then, facing Dantri Excellent work, Dantri. Thank you
Grabbing a pinch of coins from the ground and stuffing them into his money sack, Waldo picks up his weapons, straps them to his bandolier, and walks over to the pedestal, looking at the symbols.
Hmmm... I was never very good with puzzles. Hey, you, mage! Come over here, then, will you?

*jumps with a start at the appearance and disappearance of the tiger* "W-w-w-what was th-that!?" *rubs eyes* "Umm... I-i-i didn't just s-see that!" *looks over at the portcullis, and then wonders why he's talking to himself. He thinks "Well, may as well find a way over this if I can't take it down" *Jarvin pulls out a crossbow and slips a large strap on it around his wrist. Standing on a stair that's even with the height of the portcullis, he points the crossbow at the ceiling and pulls the trigger* "Stonebiter, grapple!" *a bolt with a grappling claw shoots out of the crossbow and sticks into the ceiling, with a thin glowing strand leading to it from the crossbow. Jarvin grabs the bow and, lifting his legs, swings out and over the portcullis* "Stonebiter, release!" *the glowing strand disappears, and Jarvin drops to the ground beyond the portcullis, tucking into a sommersault to cusion the blow. He holsters the crossbow, then scans the area, seeing who else is there*

I already told you, it's pie! Y'know, the number? Bakers measuring? You can't eat it? It's pi. Three-point-one-four-one-five-nine... I could go on, but we seem to have company. Spark then limps to a more suitable position in front of the newcoming elf.
Well, 'ello there... I'm Spark, this is Dantri, Geoff, and Waldo... He says with a low bow, using his staff for support...Who might you be? And who is your noisy companion back there?

Tellyna let her hood fall, revealing long blond hair and startling blue eyes. "I am Tellyna, and, no one has accompanied me down here." She informed as she smiled politely and glanced around at the others.

*walks up behind Tellyna, moving with a slump to his shoulders, and a hesitant movement to his quiet step* "I-I-I c-came after h-h-her. I'm admit I-I th-th-th-th-thought she would h-hear me, l-like y-y-y-y-you did Sp-Spark." *looks down and shuffles his feet* "It's h-h-hard to f-fall quietly"

Chill, man. Here, cool yourself down. With a smirk, Spark tosses the man a waterskin. So, what brings you two here? He then limps over to the gold to collect his share.

*Jarvin shrugs* "Th-th-the door w-w-w-was closed. I j-j-just wanted to see what was behind it.
