Looking pleased with himself, he joins the group through the door.
They walk for a while longer, turning a corner in the tunnel, before they are stopped by a strange new barrier in the path. A translucent purple field of energy blocks the tunnel, seemingly projected from a series of runes along the walls, ceiling, and floor.
He decides to stylishly jump over it, and bid it adieu with a fabulous pink laser beam
As Sylvester dances through the doors and into the tunnel, the wyrm tries to pursue, dashing after him madly. It lunges at him again, but he is beyond its reach and the tunnel is too narrow for it to enter. It roars in frustration, the laser beam streaking across its temple, and as it slowly backs away Sylvester can see a flicker of green light in the creature's eyes."
"WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO UNALIVE THIS THING?!" Sylvester shouted as he attempted to throw more knives at the creature's eyes

The knives clatter to the ground as the wyrm, realizing it can no longer reach Sylvester, moves out of his range and begins to return to its watery home.

Goatie steps forward and inspects the new obstacle. ''Weird''
The field pulses with a faint purple energy. If he touches it, it gives beneath his hand like tightly stretched fabric and bounces back as soon as he removes the pressure. "Very," says Visnja. "I saw runes like this further back in the tunnel, but they'd been deactivated. These are different."

"WHAT?! HEY! COME BACK HERE WITH MY EXPERIENCE POINTS!" Sylvester shouted angrily

"WHAT?! HEY! COME BACK HERE WITH MY EXPERIENCE POINTS!" Sylvester shouted angrily
Will he pursue or will he accept the fact that the wyrm is far too strong for any single person to defeat without significant magical prowess or other advantages, and leave?

...Sylvester opens an LFG queue and tries to get random adventurers to join his instance with the power of MMO logic

Unfortunately, all the other adventurers are busy. There are, however, a lot of soldiers in the castle above him. If he spoke to the duchess, perhaps she would be willing to send some of them to investigate.

Goatie steps back from the strange obstruction. ''Well, what do we do? We'll have to deactivate it I suppose . . . somehow.

Alinor nods. "Visnja?"
"I'll see what I can do." Visnja begins examining the runes and muttering under her breath.
LordTigress Will Azril do anything while they wait?

LordTigress Will Azril do anything while they wait?
Feeling on edge after the recent attack, Azril lets his gaze rove around their surroundings in search of any more suspicious signs.
Scanning the walls, Azril does see something out of place. Where most of the tunnel is crafted to be perfectly smooth, one rectangular section of the wall, about the size of a hand and shoulder-height, projects outward just slightly.
𝓐𝔯𝔡𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝓕𝔬𝔲𝔯 Goatie, who has also been examining the area, spots this at about the same time.

He goes to do that, intending to beguile the duchess into granting him an expeditionary force

Sylvester returns to the castle. How would he like to go about finding and acquiring an audience with the duchess?
