"If he has that many in his tribe, we might not be able to avoid them, but we should aim to negotiate if we are discovered."

Arngeir

Arngeir looks on the room side of the door to see if there is an obvious mechanism to open/close it.

We'd better find a job quickly then

Silvestri

"Assuming the recent attempts to open this door were the efforts of Honfezgalapad, then I think it is worth trying to get through, to get ahead of him. What are the alternatives? We could try the other tunnels."

Weston

"That is certainly a worthy task for us. Once we return I would ask to know more about this black flame so I can report back to the church of Azuth. It sounds like magical knowledge that requires to be brought under control for the good of all."

Sounds good to me.

Garrant has nothing to add to the conversation.

Stobart

The cleric backs out and tries to make his way behind his fellows to heal Croebus:

CLW: [1d8]=5

Xenos tries his best to hide his growing concern at Belloc's behaviour.

Wendel

[1d20+18]=8+18=26 (or 11 if INT modifier)

Fergus

[1d20+13]=7+13=20 (or 8 if INT modifier)

yes, good luck!

Silvestri

"It's metal, I can try to open it, but it's a bit of a long shot."

I'd have to get a great roll and spend a little luck.

No worries OM!
