The group starts thinking about where they should go next.
Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]
Branwyn can guess that the only doors you have encountered have been either slave rooms/prisoners or the guards for them
Lanek: I had to go take a leak but before I got back here I had to take a leak again
Raelynn: You don't need to tell us, really.
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]
Yes to rubble
The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR
Young Moon's phase is Last Quarter
Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous
The time is 1:15 PM
So there is everyone in front of the secret door
in the large room
Lanek: do you breathtaking geniuses want me to check for traps?
Craigh: We've been through this door.
Branwyn: Not yet Lanek. We will need you at the pit trap that Licornah saw
Lanek harrumphs
Branwyn: If two of the three levers open the manticore gates it would make sense that the back gate lever is either the first or the last lever. That narrows it down a bit ...
N'laea: We can give them food to distract them and close the gate again if we open the wrong one.
Giant, Fire : [Translation] HEY Olgoff, time for lunch are you still working?
[understood by: ]
Giant, Fire : [Translation] WAIT what is that light?
[understood by: ]
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 8]
Youtargim: CRAP
Youtargim: They are calling someone to lunch
N'laea: Jam the lock?
Youtargim : [Translation] I WILL BE RIGHT UP
[understood by: ]
Branwyn: get inside the secret room. Now!
Youtargim : [Translation] JUST A FEW MINUTES
[understood by: ]
Youtargim: Move move
Branwyn: Don't talk to them. MOVE
Branwyn: Elves open it!
Youtargim: Everyone safe?
Branwyn: Yes close the door behind you please
N'laea: For now. But if your new friend rats us out, we won't be for long.
Youtargim: Or stay here and answer them?
Youtargim: You tell me Countess
Branwyn: No you do not have a giant voice
Branwyn: Just get in here and close the door
Youtargim: Glad you made it in Rae
Lanek: well whaddya know. I think the Pentagram Kid just saved our lives
Raelynn: Hmph.
N'laea: If anyone has food to spare, I can toss it to the manticores while we figure out the levers.
Lanek: naw, wait, I値l call him Starfish, since they also have five feet
So everyone is inside the secret door and closed behind you
Branwyn: If the giants are calling down here our time may be running short. Let's get moving shall we?
Craigh: So, *if* our friend back there squeals on us, it's possible someone may come check on the chain to make sure it's still there. If it's in here, we can hide and watch them go through the traps.
Craigh: Assuming we can hide the whole group of us, of course.
Branwyn: There aren't many places to hide in that room
Craigh: I wasn't sure if we had a mass invisibility spell available.
Lanek scowls at everyone
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 67) [FAILURE by 4] [d100 = 71]
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Hide in Shadows [PERCENT:Ranger: Hide in Shadows] (vs. Target 59) [SUCCESS by 4] [d100 = 55]
N'laea inching forward to see if she can first hear what the manticores are doing
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 3]
N'laea was able to move forward along the wall and was not silent but was in the shadows and did see that the manticores are still in their pen
they cannot see you yet
N'laea tries to angle just enough to see inside the bars holding an apple in her hand
Indigo: Should I just pull a lever? I think it's the right one
Craigh: Wiggle a lever carefully, see if we can hear the mechanism of the gate it lifts?
Craigh: Not enough to raise the gate, of course.
N'laea is ready with food to toss in.
Indigo: tries to wiggle the right lever like Craigh suggested
does not move
Indigo: Think we need to pull it
feels like it needs real pressure
Craigh: Stupid efficient engineer giants...
Indigo: Are we ready? We have to pull one of them
Zayden: Shall we try to push it together?
Craigh: Should we move into the room so we can contain them immediately in their own room if needed?
Indigo: You want to be in the room if I pull the wrong lever?
Craigh shrugs.
Craigh: I'm not the tactical expert.
Raelynn pulls cloak around and goes into the room
Raelynn: whispering, I'm not leaving her all alone in there.
Youtargim: Rae I will go with you
Indigo: just say something if it's the wrong gate and we'll try to close it before all of them get out
Indigo: pulls the right lever
N'laea watching very carefully
Zayden: Covers his groin area
Zayden doh
The inner gate opens up
and one of the manticores rushes the gate
Indigo: Manticores?
but the front one is still down
N'laea: Inner gate, but they are eager to get out...
N'laea: Hold on, let me see something....
N'laea takes an apple and tries to roll it past the gates towards the back of the cage.
Craigh: Spray it in the face with a water bottle?
It ignores the apple
Indigo: You don't want me to close it???
N'laea: Close it.
Indigo: pulls lever to close inner gate
Manticore 4 volleys a set of spikes hitting N値aea in her lower side, wounding her.
N'laea backs up out of range.
Manticore 4: ROARS as the gate comes down on its tail
Zayden: Ouch
Indigo: Okay so lever 3 is the back manticore gate so lever 2 is probably the other manticore gate and then that means lever 1 is the back gate!
Zayden: I would not want to be a Manticore no more!
So the manticore is now trapped between the two sets of gates
N'laea: You trapped the only one that got out. If you open the wrong gate again, it'll be stuck there. Poor thing, but perhaps for the best...
Indigo: pulls lever one to the south
Zayden: Nice job Indigo!
and the gate to the NE opens up
N'laea: Correct one.
Indigo: Whew!
Indigo: 2 out of 3 isn't too bad, right?
N'laea: I feel as though we should free the tail of the one, but it may backfire...
N'laea: No. It was a good guess.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe just before we leave?
Zayden: 2 out of 3 is the best it could be
N'laea: If we come back this way, yes.
Bixi Fizzlebang: We can come back here and teleport out if all goes well?
Branwyn: Now Lanek, we need you
Zayden: so we could have teleported out this whole time?
Branwyn: stay away from the area in front of the manticore gates please
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... Zayden it's complicated
Branwyn: They can still send spikes at us
Lanek rolls up sleeves
Bixi Fizzlebang: We need to find this thing to give a goddess before we can really leave
Branwyn: No we cannot teleport out
Zayden: Oh ok, I don't care for complicated things
Bixi Fizzlebang: Otherwise I think she's going to murder us
Craigh: There are worse ways to die, I suppose
Lanek: point me at what you want me to check
Raelynn: She is the Goddess of Death, too, so... I'm not sure about that.
Zayden: My sister Hannah, growing up, was always excellent at finding things, too bad she's not me
Branwyn: Come on Lanek. Chop chop!
Branwyn: smiles at Lanek
Lanek scowls
Zayden: Giants are notoriously slow digesters
Lanek: I知 RIGHT HERE
Lanek points at his own face and head
Lanek and Zay are there where the gate has opened
Raelynn: Mm, yes but maybe I'm not the only one who doesn't try to look at you long...
Branwyn: Down that hall is where Licornah located the pit trap
Lanek: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 70) [SUCCESS by 40] [d100 = 30]
Lanek gestures; after you
Lanek grumbles and walks forward, and looks around, spots the stone on the wall, moves to disable how it moves and snorts,
Craigh: Want me to lead, or someone else?
Lanek points out a pit trap that falls down to who knows what
Branwyn: Wonderful work Lanek!
Zayden: Thank you kind sir!
Now you can see a new corridor south and still heading east
Lanek makes a sour face like getting praise for baby work is an insult
This looks like a storage room. The room has various items which will immediately be noticed: A large Chest, an Iron box and a Small Coffer. There are also 3 broken boxes and in the southeast corner a broken barrel. In the southwest corner is a large patch of Yellow mold.
Craigh: Lanek already did this one.
Lanek: oh hey, look where we are
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]
Bixi does speak up and says that Yellow Mold can be very dangerous
Craigh: I'll look at the broken containers. No locks on those.
Branwyn: thinks, where is her husband
Bixi Fizzlebang: Everyone stay away from the yellow mold!
Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Bixi Fizzlebang: That stuff can kill you
Branwyn: Thank you Bixi.
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 7]
Craigh: Good job, apprentice.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Like stay REALLY FAR AWAY
Bixi Fizzlebang: Minimum of 10 feet.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not joking when I say it can kill you. It can like, REALLY KILL YOU
Lanek looks intensely nervous
Bixi Fizzlebang: Very quickly. Within a day.
Indigo: Wow! Really dangerous
Bixi Fizzlebang: Be prepared to run if necessary... I've heard that they can... um... come after you. That mold might chase us down if it's old enough.
Craigh moves along the north edge of the room to stay far away from the mold and goes to the broken crates and barrel.
Craigh: Old Bold Mold?
Craigh: Old Bold Gold Mold.
N'laea: Do you know what kills it, Bixi?
Lanek: okay so I have nothing to use for mold
Bixi Fizzlebang: Fire
Bixi Fizzlebang: Only fire
N'laea: How far away can you do a cantrip, Branwyn?
Branwyn: About 10 feet
Zayden Hides in shadows
Branwyn: but we could light a torch and throw it onto the mold
Zayden: [SKILL] Hide In Shadows [PERCENT:Hide In Shadows] (vs. Target 30) [FAILURE by 14] [d100 = 44]
N'laea: I cannot see in there. Should we remove it first? Or remove what is flammable first?
N'laea: Er, never mind. If it is intelligent, perhaps we should kill it first?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean... it's not NECESSARILY intelligent YET, but... it could be.
N'laea shakes head
Lanek: i know ... I know I知 a thief and I should never say this .... but let's forget the chests. we don't need em
N'laea: It is for the thieves to decide if they want to pillage first or not.
Zayden: Not worth our lives lads
Lanek: live to steal another day and all that
Craigh: I'm game for burning it from around the corner
Branwyn: The chain could be in here
Zayden: Maybe we sick the dwarves on it!
N'laea: I am betting so if it's guarded by deadly mold. Once we remove the mold, it should be safer to find amongst the mess in there.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, we have already found plenty of treasure... we might not even be able to carry whatever it's guarding. But yeah, if it's guarding the chain...
Zayden: we could just tell the dwarves to pick the stuff up, see how they react?
Bixi Fizzlebang: backs away slowly, not wanting to be anywhere near mold OR fire
Zayden also backs away slowly, but with grace
Lanek also backs up slowly
Bixi Fizzlebang: I wouldn't want to watch dwarves get eaten by mold either
Bixi Fizzlebang: looks slightly nauseous at the idea
Bixi Fizzlebang: Too bad we didn't bring that giant with us...
Zayden: is yellow mold deadly to all species? Are giants immune? could they be?
Craigh: burn it, I guess
Bixi Fizzlebang: I doubt they are immune... but we could have tried to send him in and seen what his reaction was
Zayden: It may not be immune, but it could just be less severe, like a cold to a giant but deadly to the likes of us normalos
Branwyn: Craigh do you have a torch?
N'laea: I am not willing to find out. Let us burn it from a safe distance for us then see what is back here.
Lanek: i like that plan
Lanek: and I never like other peoples plans
N'laea: Do I take that as a compliment? Or just a statement of fact?
Bixi Fizzlebang: It might be an insult
Zayden: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 20]
Lanek: harrumph
Branwyn: takes off her cloak and prepares to wrap it around her face before they attack the mold
Zayden: I guess the giants would likely die as well
Lanek: it means the situation is so extraordinary that a lollipop like you might be right
N'laea backs up, notices, and does the same.
N'laea: A.... lollipop?
N'laea is confused by what a lollipop is.
Craigh: I have a candle.
Zayden: I'll have you know I'm a very wise lollipop sir
Branwyn: Indigo try to cover your face with something if we're going to attack this mold
Zayden: just not with yellow mold
Lanek wraps up his face also
Branwyn: There's got to be a stick or something around here. Maybe we should check that corridor off the trap
Branwyn: I can cut some of my cloak and we can make a torch
Branwyn: slowly goes down the corridor to check it
Youtargim accompanies Branwyn
Branwyn: Oh lovely! It's a large windy hallway
Tiberius is standing at the place where the gate could come down, in the wild idea he can catch it and stop it from falling
Youtargim: Stairs up, I think we might need to be worried about that
Zayden: I like this Tiberius fellow
Zayden: He's got moxy
Branwyn: Stairs up?
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 5]
Youtargim: Up there is not a good space
Craigh: What do you mean, 'not a good space'?
Craigh: I say we just get the chain and vamoose.
Branwyn: So giants from upstairs could come here and bypass the manticores and pit trap
Branwyn: And if there is a need to do that, it would be to get in the room with the yellow mold
Branwyn: The iron box would be fire proof
Craigh lights his candle using a cantrip.
Zayden: so we start a fire then?
Zayden: and hide?
Zayden: Crazy enough, it just might work...
Branwyn: We don't know where these stairs lead to upstairs but it could be our way out
Zayden: Anybody got a match?
Branwyn: still looking at the stairs and thinking out loud
Branwyn: Might be better than going back past the kitchen and great hall ...
Zayden: I think it's a great idea, but where will we hide?
Branwyn: Okay! Back to the mold room for now.
Youtargim: I will guard this hallway
Branwyn: looks at her husband
Zayden: and how long will we need to hide for?
Craigh: Ready for me to light it?
Branwyn: Tiberius! You could get smashed by the gate. Please don't stand there
Tiberius Branadarus: Someone has to stop it from dropping
Branwyn: The lever stops it from dropping
Tiberius Branadarus: YOU are the one that is standing on top of the pit trap
Zayden chuckles
Branwyn: grins
Tiberius Branadarus: Laughs
Tiberius Branadarus: Love you
Branwyn: I'll move if you do
Branwyn: Love you too
Lanek makes gagging sound
Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls her eyes
Tiberius Branadarus: Promise we will have this much fun in Hell
Tiberius Branadarus: Steps inside of the gates
Branwyn: How could we not?
Lanek: don't ... don't show up in hell. please
Zayden: Anybody concerned about our hiding spot?
Lanek: oh wait, you mean our vacation. never mind
Zayden: I rather not visit hell TONIGHT
Branwyn: What are we hiding from?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not any more concerned than I was when we had two giants murdering us
Tiberius Branadarus: YES Lanek, exactly! we need a vacation, Hell sounds like a fun place
Lanek: yeah. you do that. it'll be great
Zayden: Well what if we start the fire and the giants come down to deal with the fire?
Bixi Fizzlebang: What if we don't, and we're stuck here forever?
Craigh: I don't see any fire alarms
Zayden: Well then we'd be in hell already
Lanek: I AM in hell already
Bixi Fizzlebang: Agreed, Lanek.
Zayden: Set it on fire Craigh, let's see what happens!
Lanek: I致e got a yellow blob of toxicity to the back of me and icky gross love stuff in the front
Lanek: giants above and a pit below, let's just die already
Craigh hands his candle to Zayden to hold, then flicks the wick alight.
Zayden: You putting this on me there friend?
Zayden: Can I get a ready from everyone?
Craigh takes the candle, reaches around the corner and tosses the candle onto the mold and ducks back behind the corner as it flies.
Lanek: whatever. do the thing if you want
Craigh: Duck!
Zayden follows Craigh
Lanek ducks
Branwyn: wraps cloak around her face
The burning candle lands on the Yellow Mold but burns out quickly
Indigo: does the same
Zayden laughs
Lanek: well that was dramatic
it was affected by the fire but did not significantly damage it
Zayden: Will I ever leave this horrid space? Could I be, If I could, in any other place...
Zayden: we should have thrown some oil first on it or something perhaps
Branwyn: concentrates on a creating a foot long stick with enough width to make a torch
Branwyn: unwraps her cloak and takes out her dagger and cuts a swath to wrap around the end of the stick
Branwyn: Craigh? Can you cantrip some oil on the end of this thing to make a torch please?
Craigh: Sure, I think.
Branwyn: holds out her makeshift torch
Craigh cantrips up some oil
Branwyn: That should burn better
Craigh with oil cantrips to coat the stick and cloth that Branwyn cantrips so you have a new readymade torch to light
Craigh: I'll let somebody with a better arm than me toss that.
Branwyn: Nicely done
Branwyn: Feeling lucky Zayden? Want to throw this or shall we let one of the fighters try?
Zayden: Let one of the fighters go
Branwyn: Indigo, ready to throw again?
Branwyn: Cover your face and don't get too close
Indigo: Takes the torch
Branwyn: cantrips a small flame to light it
Branwyn: Now go
Zayden: IN-DI-GO IN-DI-GO IN-DI-GO
Indigo: face covered he moves up and throws the torch at the mold
Craigh backs far away from the corner
WHOOOOOSH
Indigo: quickly backs up
Zayden backs up, enamored by the flame
The mold withers in the flames
Branwyn: looks to see if there are any yellow clouds floating around
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 13]
Zayden: that was surprisingly simple
No mold clouds floating around
Branwyn: Looks clear.
Zayden: smells alright
N'laea goes to join the group
Branwyn: Think you should be able to continue searching now
Craigh: Okay, I'll check the broken bits. It's not likely to be trapped.
Branwyn: Very good Indigo
Zayden: Thanks Indigo!
Bixi Fizzlebang: It was already trapped
N'laea: You have a good throwing arm.
Branwyn: Branwyn and Indigo move into the room and get out of the way
Lorie (Licornah): nods in affirmation of Indigo's effort
Zayden checks out the box
Indigo: grins
Zayden: what's in the box?!
Lanek harrumphs
Zayden: What's the in the booooox?!
Zayden open the box and sees
a black metal chain
Zayden opens the box
Zayden: oh dang
Zayden: anybody looking for a black metal chain?
N'laea: Yes.
N'laea holds out hand.
In the latter is a chain of weird black metal and instructions written in hill giant on a sheet of human skin.
Bixi Fizzlebang: gags
Indigo: Youtargim could probably read that
Indigo: It might be chain instructions
N'laea: We can show it to him, but I would prefer to hold on to this, Zayden.
Lanek glares
Zayden: Go for it N'laea
N'laea: Thank you.
The chain looks to be black metal not natural and the links are over 4 inches long with a guess (without touching it) that the chain might be two foot long?
Bixi Fizzlebang: is incredibly grateful that she can't carry basically anything
Zayden: That's a pretty big chain, but I've seen bigger
Bixi Fizzlebang: It's not a contest
N'laea: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]
Licornah: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 10]
Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]
All of the Elves recognize that this is Drow Metal
N'laea: Odd...
Lorie (Licornah(): recoils instantly and frowns visibly
N'laea: Youtargim, can you read giant?
Youtargim: Of course
N'laea: Come read what this says.
Youtargim: Hmmm
Youtargim: Careful not to touch it
Licornah(: That's dark elf magic... :: pauses:: drow... do not touch that!
N'laea: The metal is, but we do not know about the magic.
Youtargim: This says that this chain is to be used to breach the barriers from Chaos
Youtargim: I think it is like the Countess's Amulet
Indigo: What does that mean?
Youtargim: It allows to move between the Planes
Indigo: It doesn't say anything about controlling giants?
Youtargim: This would be the Planes of Chaos
Youtargim: Well, most giants would be bound by laws so maybe?
Indigo: So did the elf goddesses lie to us?
Youtargim: Is there someone that the Goddess would worry about from Chaos?
Youtargim: This is a chaos agent
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't understand
Indigo: me neither
Indigo: looks at the elves
Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]
(lack of whispers) The Drow worship Lolth who lives in the Abyss, the Planes of Chaos
Licornah(: [SKILL] Religion (Faerûnian) - free prof (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 13]
N'laea: The Drow Gods.
Lorie (Licornah(): Lloth is the spider goddess and she's not friendly... and chaos is her primary directive
Licornah would guess this might be a way to breach the Elven Lands and allow Lolth to enter
Lorie (Licornah(): Okay... so Lloth, she's the more prominent dark elf deity. This amulet allows you to travel to her undercity if I had to guess via this plane. Lloth is unkind and cruel.
Licornah(: I would venture that this elven deity seeks to destroy it
Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds like that's good, though, right?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Do... was that goddess actually someone else disguised as the goddess?
Zayden: Nice job Bixi!
Lanek: oh. huh
N'laea: So it was not her cloak...
Bixi Fizzlebang: I... still don't understand
Treasure found: // a quiver of 11 +2 magic arrows// +3 magic spear// 2 flaming swords// Large Chest : 23,840 g.p.// Iron Box : locked, 4,139 p.p.// Small Coffer : 41 100 g.p. gems, 13 500 g.p. gems, and 8 1,000 g.p. gems.// Small Coffer : 17 pieces of 500 g.p. jewelry (no gems) //
Lanek: are you committee members ready to get out of here or do we need to take a vote?
Zayden: I'd like a vote
Lanek: did you make sure to get the minutes, eh?
Zayden smirks
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... are we taking any of this with us?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Who's going to carry it all? Talwin is off pooping again...
Zayden: Guy's gotta take it easy with the prune juice
Indigo: Yes we're taking all the small boxes
Bixi Fizzlebang: Or the cheese
For Zayden, Craigh, Lanek and N値aea who are leading the group痴 exit up the stairs and out the back way:
In the northwest corner of the room are a pile of logs. There are a set of stairs going down where they came from.
N'laea pausing to listen
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 6]
Several scroll tubes are concealed in this room, under a stack of logs in the alcove to the northwest. Only one tube has anything in it, this one being sealed
Inside is a set of instructions on the next raid, written in giantish, and signed; Eclavdra. Also in the tube are the plans for the Steading, but this plan does not show the lower level
There are no visible exits to this room
N値aea used her elf skills, but could not locate a secret door.
N'laea: quietly behind her; We have a map out. It shouldn't be too far... if we do not run into trouble.
Youtargim is at the bottom of the stairs
Lanek: [SKILL] Move Silently [PERCENT:Move Silently] (vs. Target 85) [SUCCESS by 27] [d100 = 58]
Youtargim: Hey everyone! come quick! They might have found a way out!
Indigo: Great!
Youtargim: Bring everything
N'laea: Quietly!
Lanek: you better have whispered that
Youtargim: whispers be quiet
N'laea : [Translation] Idiot.
[understood by: N'laea, Raelynn, Licornah(]
Indigo: starts handing boxes to everyone to carry up
Raelynn takes whatever she can help bring up
Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around with hands held out, as if there might be something she could possibly carry
Tiberius Branadarus: picks up a chest, This is like old times
Tiberius Branadarus: Carrying out the treasure from the caves while others are guarding the rear
Tiberius Branadarus: well, I hope they are guarding our fronts?
Tiberius: Looks at Branwyn
Tiberius Branadarus: Do you think they know what they are doing up there?
Lanek: I値l be sneaking, but yeah, if trouble breaks out, I知 fightin
Indigo: shrugs
Indigo: Who knows?
Lanek: I would rather have my hands free for checkin in case we run into new traps
Lanek: prolly they didn't re-trap anything since we came in, but ounce of prevention, ya know
Indigo: gives Bixi the quiver of magic arrows to carry
N'laea waiting to see if Lanek will listen at the door as she suggested.
Zayden Attempts the secret wall door
TMO (Craigh): listen at the door
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]
This room contains a long table, a great chair, a lesser chair, and 6 stools. There are several shelves, a smaller table and chair, and some miscellaneous items (a mug, some paper scraps, an old knife, a rock paperweight, etc.). There are hides on the walls and floor. A rough skin map of the area, showing past and planned raids, hangs on the wall opposite the fireplace.
Zayden: Looks this is the strategic office or something gang
Zayden: looks like
The Secret door is a hidden door concealed behind a manticore hide hung on the wall.
Zayden: plans for past and planned raids also
Zayden: oh and a map of the area, that'll help
Lanek sneaky sneak sneaks
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 67) [SUCCESS by 29] [d100 = 38]
Zayden: there's another door
Bixi Fizzlebang: Can we tell quickly from this map the fastest way out of here?
Craigh: the double door. Do we want to see if there's anything useful here to nick?
N'laea: Yes. The top door. The bottom leads to a dead-end room.
Zayden: I think we can
Zayden: top door for sure
N'laea: Just keep listening before opening a door. We don't know who is awake or not.
Zayden: okey doke
Zayden approaches the top door for a listen
Bixi Fizzlebang: No, Craigh, I just want to get out of here. We have plenty of useful stolen objects
Craigh: Spirit of adventure all worn out, is it?
Craigh grins
N'laea: quietly; Careful around this corner.
Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs then whispers; I was fine until that flaming sword almost killed someone...
everyone is in the same room
Zay and Lanek open the double doors
Zayden checks out the doorway
