Chapter 6: Return to the Kobold Lair

[Cauchy]

Cayley

The priestess will enter the room and look about, "Are we so greedy in our quest for gold that we are to disturb the resting place of these good dwarves?" She sighs, "It seems even the kobolds were wise enough, or more likely these tombs are protected by something stronger than they wished to face, to leave well enough alone. And for what? Perhaps a few coins that will soon be spent or a suit of dwarven armor that will not fit. Be sure to weigh the consequences of your actions before proceeding or be prepared to face them afterwards."

[Cwreando]

The Doctor moves up past Smoke and tells everyone, " Idhrenwen mentioned that there may be another beast here, she has never been down this part of the lair (2nd Hallway), but would love to find his gear if it is still down here. Beastmaster Bashka, would talk of playtime for the Dire Weasels with another pet named Ceasteraesc. I suggest caution."

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Just a note that Idhrenwen Lasseth is a Female Half-Elf Ranger !

"I think we just want to pick up an unused gold and trinkets, yer know stuff no one is using. So we won't be disturbing anything...much. So it should be fine. Carry on lads"

[Mondego]

Teladrin stands watch as the others discuss their next move.

[Starbeard]

Arn stands watch with Teladrin during the squabbling. He's happy with any decisions, as long as it includes mopping up the evil in this place.

[NeoPlasmaVice]

Procyon offers his opinion. "I'm not so hot about robbing the tombs. Let's leave them alone for now."

[MonkeyWrench]

Elusev simply nods to the others, still standing near the tomb, "I would agree, taking something of use from those who no longer need it is one thing, but robbing the dead of their valuables is another..."

[Cauchy]

Cayley

"Well shall we move on while we ponder the wisdom of disturbing the dead?"

[Starbeard]

'As a paladin and a gentleman I see no reason to avoid taking the treasure from the tombs, so long as it is all safely restored to another location free of evil creatures, or placed in a proper temple. In the meantime, however, let us move on and see what else is here.'

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

So now looks like we do some searching, in that case, 1d6 rolls needed & tell me where you are doing the looking/searching !

[MonkeyWrench]

While not of a mind to steal from the resting dead Elusev will join in the searching of the rooms walls and floors to help expedite the groups movement.

Search Check: [1d6] = 3

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

As Elusev simply moves over to the east wall when he is searching, he notes a series of curved grooves on the floor, in front of the sarcophagus along the east wall.

[MonkeyWrench]

Elusev will then check the wall and floor by those grooves for a hidden entrance.

Detect Secret Door: [1d6] = 5

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Elusev could not find any indication of a secret door !

[Mondego]

Teladrin will inspect the sarcophagus to see if it can be moved.

[saalaria]

Seeing the party get to work and perhaps something of interest, Jenks moves into the room. When he sees the grooves he says:

"Looks like that one moves doesn't it? See the marks on the floor? I'll bet it swings out and there is a secret door in either the wall or the floor. Shall we all try and push it in that direction?"
He indicates the direction of the grooves.

Can we get the other side of the sarc or is it tight to the wall so we would have to pull?

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Teladrin's inspection reveals that the sarcophagus is ever so slightly just above the floor.

Jenk's sees that the sarcophagus is right up against the wall, so pulling it is still possible.

[Cauchy]

Epi

The priestess shrugs, "Well I presume the dead cannot object to being moved a bit."

[Mondego]

Teladrin will help pull the sarcophagus away from the wall.
