If he doesn't receive an immediate response to his mental plea, Andron will assume the souls wanted him to read the journal. He will select one at random from the pile and scan its contents as quickly as he's able.

Maag

"So Theo 'as disappeared den? Dat lad could get lost gettin' out of 'is own trousers". says Maag, exasperated.

Maag stomps off to the doorway of the other room. "Right den. Either dey got sent somewhere else by magic, fell in a pit dat got covered up, turned invisible, got et by sumfin, went back into dat cell, Elroi did 'im in and snuck off, or...."

"Der is a lot of possibilities really."
Maag runs his hand through his invisible hair. "I 'ave not got a clue".

"Oy! Theo! Are you in dat cell mate?"
he bellows. Maag turns to Torbath. "I will 'ave to go 'an find 'im. ' e owes me thirty gold pieces."

Maag ties a rope around his waist and passes the other end to Torbath. " 'ere is der plan. I will check der cell. Den der bookcases for anyfink suspicious. If der is nuffin' der, I will check der mirror. But I am goin' to use dis little mirror in my 'and, to look over my shoulder into der big mirror".

OM - I realize that is a lot of potential actions. I just listed them all in case you want to do a quick handwave or spend several rounds on them.

The Ethereal Marketplace
Zuhma’s Sewer Quest Revised
Back And Forth


Andron drops the journal and sticks his arm back into the purple blob, initially feeling the same sensation as he did the last time. Once he gives the cacophony of wailing Spirits a moment to settle down, he thinks they are directing him back towards the dusty remains on the floor behind him.

Torbath returns to tell the others about their missing teammate, passing Alordan and Feanol on his way back into the room. Maag quickly ties a rope around his waist and enters the room across the main hall, handing the other end to the wizard Torbath for safe keeping. When the floating rope enters the next area, he confirms the iron bars are indeed back in place again, blocking any access into the dark cell beyond. The mirror looks the same as well, whether he uses his own mirror to view it or not. He calls out to Theo but gets no reply from inside the cell or anywhere else. (you can move to the bookcase/statue area next, as that was already a full round of action)

While this is all taking place, Feanol lets out a muffled shriek and grunts softly when Alordan suddenly collapses into her arms. She is barely able to ease the much larger human to the floor without further complication, but the look on her face is one of confused terror, as she too appears to have no idea what might be happening to everyone. She is about to call out for help when the entire floor of this dungeon starts shaking wildly again, making the simple task of walking across it difficult.

Andron assumes a confusioned expression as he glances back towards the dusty remains, remarking, "The remains? There is something we missed?" Feanol's shriek and the onset of another tremor was the only impetous he needed to remove his arm from the blob of lost souls and dart to the remains, carefully, but quickly, sifting through them for anything remotely unusual. "I think the interval between these tremors is decreasing, we need to get out of here!"

Torbath

Torbath will hold on to the rope, while standing in the eastern room. He has his left foot planted against the wall ready for a tug.

Maag

Maag proceeds to the bookcases, eyeing the gargoyle suspiciously. He waits a few moments for it to move, then starts to inspect the bookcases.

He first looks for anything odd about the books, such as any that have been dropped on the floor in a hurry.

If nothing seems too obvious, Maag starts to push and slide the bookcases, looking for secret doors.
