Kelben the gnome things for a moment then looks as if he has the answer without thinking to run it by the others he blurts it out. "Stars!"

Aubron

Aubron considered the riddle and then heard the gnome shout the answer. Well done, Kelben! I think you are right. He stood ready at the door for whatever may happen next.

Kelben smiles at Aubron "I do hope I am right if not we should be ready no telling what might happen."

The Riddle
Kelben contemplates the riddle for a moment, then blurts out what he suspects is the answer:

"Stars"


As the correct trigger word is spoken, a grinding sound is heard coming from the middle of the western wall where a hidden door, perfectly blended into the surrounding wall, pivots open.
Secret Door.jpg
Secret Door.jpg (97.35 KiB) Viewed 481 times
The now opened hidden door exposes a dust-cloaked, 20-foot-wide hall which is lined with six alcoves; three to the north and three to the south.

From your current position, the inside of the nearest alcoves on either side are visible, and each contains a humanoid figure -- resembling tall elves in plate armor -- carved of red-veined white marble. The remaining alcoves, while not fully visible, appear to hold the same.

A stone archway on the opposite end of this 50-foot-long hall opens into a wide room from which greenish light glows.

What appears to be an exposed, 10-foot-wide dark pit is situated before the archway.

Alcoves
An eerie silence fills the air after the secret door in the western wall pivots open.

Just a bump; so no map update.

Aubron

As soon as the secret door swung open, a bit of excitement ran through Aubron. He was getting the sense more and more that this is a magical place and could very well hold the secret to the apple that he sought. Perhaps my quarry was in this place, too, he thought.

He entered the room and took up a position in the Northeast corner. Utilizing his keen elven senses, he tried to see make out the details of the room and if anything seemed out of place.

Kelben steps through the door and to the left of the door then tries to see if anything looks out of place like another trap trigger in the room upon the floor.

Alcove Room
Auborn and Kelben move into this new room, slipping right and left respectively. The pair of scouts study the new area:

Both believe the area is safe, but Auborn, from his corner, does notice that the furthest alcove along the left wall, unlike all other alcoves, is empty.

Sky

Sky stands to admire the dragon sculpture, aware of the value of such a creation. When she reluctantly moves into the next room and sees the statues of Elves in the same material she comments "There you go Kelben. Elves. The answer was elves."

She takes a step into the room, crouches down and gets really quiet. She seems to be listening for something.

Kelben moves up 4 more floor tiles/slabs and admires the statue. Looking at it's craftsmanship. "Yes so it would appear. I knew it wasn't of goblin magics." he replies to Sky.

Qelgrax Klilxuac

The dragonborn sorcerer stands just outside the secret door. I'll just stay out here for now, if nobody minds. Everything else I approach seems to do something, and I'd prefer to not make the elven statues come to life or some such nonsense. Klilxuac does shine his light into the room and tries to make sense of what he can see from his position.
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Alcove Room
After admiring the craftsmanship of the dragon sculpture in the previous room, Sky joins Auborn and Kelben in the alcove room, and upon spotting the elf sculptures crafted of the same material, says to the gnome: "There you go Kelben. Elves. The answer was elves." The half-cat crouches down and gets really quiet; listening intently, but hearing nothing except the soft footfalls of her companions shuffling around the room.

Kelben agrees with Sky that it makes sense that the sculptures are of elven creation. He creeps a bit further into the room, hugging the wall to the left, and positions himself between the two occupied alcoves on that side.

The rogue notices that the dust in the space in front of the open alcove is disturbed by tracks, but the tracks are filled in enough that the disturbance must have occurred dozens of years ago.

Alcove Room
Kelben creeps forward and peers into the empty alcove on the left side. The gnome confirms that aside from an impressive collection of dust and normal cobwebs, the open area is empty.

The tracks, which have been there for many, many years, lead directly from this empty alcove into the 10-foot-deep pit which separates the current room and the stone archway leading into a neighboring room.
Empty Alcove.jpg

Peering through the archway, Kelben can see that the floor and walls in the next room are covered in cracked or broken violet marble tiles. What looks like a large marble sarcophagus, carved with dragon imagery, fill the room's center.

The green glow is still spotted, and appears to originate from somewhere on the left side of the neighboring room.

Aubron

Aubron follows the same path that Kelben and Sky have taken in the room. The tracks do puzzle him, however. Who made them, and why do they appear out of nowhere?, he thinks to himself. Before moving past the empty alcove, Aubron attempts to gain more information on who or what has been here relatively recently. He studies the walls of the alcove looking for any sign of a hidden door or latch. After he does, he kneels down and looks at the tracks further.

Careful, Kelben. Elven magic is nothing to be trifling with, he cautioned the gnome.
Investigation on Alcove: [1d20-1] = 9-1 = 8
Survival: [1d20+4] = 10+4 = 14
Survival 2 (in case Advantage applies): [1d20+4] = 4+4 = 8

Alcove Room
Aubron follows the same path that Kelben and Sky have taken in the room and joins the gnome at the open alcove, cautioning him that elven magic is nothing to be trifled with. He studies the walls of the alcove looking for any sign of a hidden door or latch, and not finding any, shifts his focus to the tracks left.

The ranger is able to discern that the tracks, which begin in the center of the alcove then disappear into the pit, were made by tiny humanoid feet with claw-like nails.

Aubron

After studying the tracks, Aubron determined their source, but how they appeared still remained a conundrum. "These creatures have small humanoid feet with claws. Kobolds? Something worse? I cannot determine. But they seem to just appear from the middle of the alcove and then go into the pit. I'll take a look."

Aubron moved to the edge of the pit and relied on his darkvision to make out any details of it. He also tried to answer the question of how the creatures got into it.

Pit
Aubron offers that a kobold may have made the tracks leading into the pit, but is confidence in that answer is not absolute. Following the tracks to the pit, the ranger peers inside and discovers that it is 10-feet deep, and its bottom is filled with spikes. He also notes that the walls of the pit are rough, and would offer handholds to climbers, and suspects that is how the track-making creature was able to descend into it safely.

Aubron

Aubron peered deeply and saw that the pit was relatively shallow, and he reported to the others. It does not look very deep. We can climb down, and even the tallest of us could probably hold on to the ledge and drop down a few feet. But, this pit still troubles me. If this is meant to be a trap, then should it not be covered? A pit in the open like this is quite easy to get around. Perhaps it has already been sprung. And who or what went down there? I think there is only one way to find out. There are places to put your hands and feet to descend safely, but careful of those spikes.

The elf surveyed the edge of the pit looking for the safest place to lower himself down. knelt down and lowered himself down the wall of the pit, doing his best to avoid the spikes. Though it appeared to be a bit more treacherous than he first noticed.

Kelben "So we're gonna go raid a tomb? Fair enough. I'll go next but I'll wait until you make it safely back up the other side of the pit. I imagine Sky will simply just leap over the pit." the gnome adds with a little bit of a sly sarcasm and a jesting wink to Aubron "Wanna place a bet on it." the gnome smiles. Then will make his way down and through the spiked pit taking the same path Aubron pointed out.
