Burt uses the bits of scrap metal, wires, the lightning-in-a-bottle, and his short sword to create what hopefully ends up being a shock or Lightning or something kind of magical sword.
Burt passes some wires through the inside of the jar, then wraps them around his sword. The jar is wound with more wire and bits of metal and perched precariously on top of the hilt. The result is a weapon that poses as great a threat to the wielder as it does to those on the opposing end of the blade.
Burt's sword will now deal the entirety of its damage as electric damage. However the weapon may not function safely in its current form for long. Lightning-In-A-Bottle can be detached from the sword at any time and repurposed by someone more adept at the process.
Linea stayed with the team and ready to move to the next area whenever everyone ready.
At the end of the room are the next set of doors. Or what’s left of a set of doors. One of them is swinging from an invisible hinge, the other has been reduced to splinters, both have burn marks on them and the wood has been charred in places.
A revolving staircase can be seen through the doorway.
Climbing up slowly restores light to the surroundings. The bird chirps and insect hums of the forest have been replaced by the steadfast woosh of wind streaming outside, undeterred by any worldly concerns. The view outside is spectacular, showing the forest in every direction for miles, the trees rippling like the surface of a restless pond. A large lake can be made out, perhaps 10 leagues to their north.
Much further to the northeast, however, a vivid anomaly is visible. A patch of the forest is unnaturally colored, standing out from the vibrant green surrounding it. It is difficult to make it out from this height but the forest in this patch appears foul and rotten, the dark core a sickly grey and tendrils of this blight stretching out in every direction outwards, contrasting with the pristine forest.
The room on the next floor seems normal, much like it was on the two floors before the previous one. The garish decorations and lit torches have returned. A set of doors with sapphire handles awaits the party at the end of the hallway.
