Drex cautiously sent a mage hand into the room with the weapon rack, lifting a sword and carrying back to the corridor and into the other room. Nothing seemed to happen, so this was done for the remaining weapons in the rack, till some 18 swords and a couple of battle axes were into the room where the suits of armour had been. Morthos used a Detect Magic, discovering that all of the weapons appeared to have some sort of enchantment on them. Suspecting it was magic to animate them, and deciding it would be good to neutralise that magic, Mogadon systematically destroyed each of the weapons, bending the sword blades and breaking the hafts of the axes.

With the broken weapons trapped in the other room, the group finally set foot inside the room with the weapon rack. The only other exit was an ornate heavy looking stone door with a stubby fingered handprint inset into the stone at about four feet off the floor.

With the rest of the party returning to the corridor to peek in from a distance, Mogadon, as the party dwarf, took it upon himself to try the door, pressing the stone first with his gauntleted hand. A nasty shock of necromantic magic later and he decided maybe he needed to try it with bare hands. Believing that the door was testing him in some way, and that the reason he had been shocked was because he had failed the test. The group spent some time trying to persuade Drex the Aasimer to try instead, but he resisted, suggesting instead that maybe Mogadon needed to try with his gauntlet off instead - but to the same effect. As Morthos investigate the weapons rack and the discussion continued, the group split up to search the walls for secret doors. Cormir stepped out into the corridor to check the wall from there. Spotting that the line that had been holding back the suspected geletinous cube had faded. He scrabbles in a coin pouch and pulls out a coin which he hurls down the corridor, only to see it splat into the surface of the cube right next to him. He is engulfed by the cube, and the rest of the party spill out into the corridor to start attacking the cube, an acid burned Cormir managing to break free from the amoeba like creature and stagger back to help destroy it, at one point causing fiery chains to appear around it. When it is finally dispatched, it collapses into a massive puddle nearly a foot deep of caustic liquid, which quickly drains through drain holes in the floor.
