Brass

Brass watches the thing...confused for the moment. But then he thought about it and shrugged. He just fought a stone wolf, had intelligent conversation with a dire wolf named Rorsa, and ridden on a land cart. This didn't really merit much shock...yet.
Even so, took a grip on the hilt of the enchanted sword, but left it sheathed for the moment.

As the gruop watches, the sheet dips itself into the water basin at the end of the room. A few moments later, it lifts out, sopping wet. However, it shimmers for a second, and then the sheet seems to dry before folding itself and floating back over to a new place on the shelves.
 
Brass

It made sense, many things in this covernous place seemed to have a magically automated method of self-regulating themselves. Brass released the hilt on his blade.
 
(W3)

After the sheet sets itself down, Brass feels something invisible come and touch him. Its almost as if four hands are trying to lift him up, and push him towards the basin at the end of the room. However, there is no force behind them. Either whatever effect is in place was not made strong enough to lift anything heavier than cloth, or else its not attempting to force Brass forward against his will.

Brass

He paused, and wondered what was going on...then guessed that it was just sensing dirt on him and the room was trying to clean him. He looked himself over quickly, and realized that he was getting rather dirty; combating hobgoblins, glass covered zombies, carcass crabs, stone wolves...
He decided to go along with the hands, so long as the water didn't turn out to be a powerful acid, he'd be fine. Wasn't like he needed to breath or anything.
 
Laundry Room (W3)

Brass feels himself being guided forward into the basin. It is deep enough to reach over Brass' waist. He feels a tingly sensation on his lower torso and body. Its probably the closest Brass has ever been to being tickled. A bucket near the edge of the basin lifts up and fills itself with some of the water, which it promptly dumps over Brass's head. Within a moment, he feels himself being guided out of the Basin. A brief sparkle can be seen and Brass feels another sensation, similar to what a human finght feel rubbing his hands together very fast. The friction covers his entire body though, and within seconds, he is dry.

In additon, he has a lemon-fresh scent!

As soon as the sparkle fades from Brass, both Soryn and Gorfan can feel their clothing beeing tugged at. Again, it is a gentle force, but this time, it seems more interested in their clothing than anything else.

Gorfan

Gorfan had been watching with bemused fascination at the linen closet's way of washing and drying clothes within seconds. Brass had received a spring clean it seemed, and now the cleric felt his clothes being tugged at...which caused him to look down upon his own clothing and armour. They were dirty, battle-stained and in dire need of a lemon-scent finish! With a touch of self-consciousness, Gorfan allows the invisable hands to do their work.
 
Laundry Room (W3)

The magical force is not shy at all about stripping Gorfan naked and cleaning his *ahem* his gear and then returning it to him in mint condition.
 
Gorfan

Gorfan modestly took back his lemon-fresh clothing and placed them back on quickly after taking a brief moment to admire their sparkling finish. The cleric also notices tugging at the rogue's clothes also...
 
Soryn

While all of that was occurring with the cleric and the warforged, he remembered that he still smelled like he had rolled all over those smelly wolves in that other room. It didn't take him long to have his clothing stripped as he allowed it all to be washed thoroughly without any sort of modesty whatsoever. He would hopefully smell lemony fresh after all was done.

Once his clothes were back on his form, he moved to search around the room, wondering if there was more than just very clean clothes around here.

((Take 20 on searching the area around the large basin))
 
Laundry Room (W3)

Once everyone has had their clothing cleaned, the smell in the room is a lot better, although both Gorfan and Soryn could use a bath for themselves.

Soryn's search turns up nothing of value. There is a a bucket sitting at the side of the basin, a washboard hanging up on the wall, and a few arcane markings.

As the search goes on, more of the sheets are processed through the wash.
 
Soryn

"Can you make anything of those markings there Gorfan?"

He was simply curious about them...not necessarily adamant about figuring it out. Moving toward the basin, he moves to wash his face at least with the water he finds there before looking around at the shelves that he could reach out of pure curiousity, wondering if there was anything other than clothes in them.

((Take 20 on them all I guess))
 
Laundry Room (W3)

Soryn washes his face, and searches the room for about an hour. He doesn't find anything except for linens.

Support Barracks (W8)

Alo gets a few minutes of peace, but it isn't long before Rorsa comes back. "Uh... Alo?

My crystal ball isn't working. Can you help me with it?"

Gorfan

"I shall try to determine the origins of the markings after I've had a wash with this water..." Gorfan said stolidly and proceeded to clean himself up the best he could with the water at hand.

After this is done, the dwarf begins to study the arcane markings and tries to determine their origins within the recesses of his memory.

Knowledge Arcana check on markings. (1d20+2=13)
 
You can't tell much about the arcane markings, other than that they are clearly involved in the process of cleaning that is occurring.
 
Soryn

Finding nothing, he figures they shouldn't waste anymore time. He did doubt that they would find anything else here...or at least he was already too indifferent about anything probably being in here so he suggested they return to the rotator room.

"I think its time to return to that other room now"

If no one objected, he'd lead them back to the other rotator room and go ahead and use his blue key to open the room to the NE.
 
Gorfan

Learning little about the markings save for their integral part in the clothes cleaning process, Gorfan nodded in agreement to Soryn's sentiment that they should return to the rotator room. They had been spring-cleaned here, so they were primed for the NE passage.
 
Alo

Alo looked up again, and wondered if he would actually be able to concentrate for long enough to be able to do this.

"Your crystal ball? Where did you get that, and can I see it." He still thought humouring the wolf might be the best option for now.
 
Support Barracks (W8)

Rorsa leads Alo to a bed where the wolf lays its head down on the top and stares at a small sphere sitting on the bed. It has a loop of string around it. Looking closer, you realize its a pearl.
