Mochius rolls an 18 - 3, for a total of 15, succeeding!
But she's able to overcome her fear, or at least harness it and run like the wind! The shadows flash all around her, getting slightly more frenzied for a moment, before completely dissipating, leaving her alone in a calm hallway, safe and sound, for now...
Mochius slows down finally, her chest heaving as she tries to catch her breath. Looking around slowly, the flickering shadows seem to be gone. She lets out a shaky sigh of relief. Back to business!
She takes a long moment to examine the hallway. It's still eerily dark and she waves her torch around to try to pinpoint any landmarks in the gloom. The only thing she can spot is a door further down, the firelight glinting off the golden doorknob. With a sigh, she heads towards it. At least that meant she was making progress.
As she navigates the hall, however, she doesn't find herself getting any closer to the door. Narrowing her eyes, she speeds up, though she still doesn't seem to be closing in. "What's happening?" She murmurs to herself. Was this an illusion? More magical nonsense? Were the shadow creatures toying with her now? Her paws start to shake again. What should she do?
She decides to roll Nose. Maybe she can puzzle out if there's a trick to this door, and see if it's worth trying to reach or not.
The door stands before Mochius, taunting her as she's unable to approach...
Mochius rolls a 5 +3, for a total of 8, failing!
There definitely has to be some sort of magic afoot, but Mochius isn't exactly sure what kind of magic it is. Stumped, she takes a breather from trying to get closer to the door, taking some time to think.
As she takes her break, she notices that the door is slowly moving, but this time, its moving closer to her. Perhaps if she's quick enough she can grab the handle...
Mochius shakes her head. This is pointless! She doesn't know enough about magic to be able to puzzle it out. As she stands, panting and frustrated, she realizes with a start that the door is actually starting to approach her. She freezes. Is this another trick?
No, it still looks like it's getting closer! She holds her breath and waits, waits, waits, until finally it's almost within reach. Suddenly, she dashes forward and reaches for the doorknob.
She rolls Paws to see if she can get there in time.
Mochius waits carefully as the door approaches her..
Mochius rolls a 17, -3, for a total of 14, succeeding!
And strikes when the moment is right, grabbing onto the handle as it approaches. As she grabs it, the door jolts suddenly, but she's able to hold tight, and after a moment everything is still, and she's able to pull the door open.
Beyond her is dark, but she can sense she's close to something big!
