The ape in nowhere to be seen.

Korbryn shakes his head. "Damn, dirty apes," he says quietly, and then moves to rejoin his companions and help them gather the loot.

Inquisitor Miltiades

"The two human slaves within, tell me of them." the inquisitor says to the hobgoblin as Korbryn returns with his menacing axe.

"Well let's at least keep moving while he does. No reason to waste time just hanging around." Ithiken says, hitching up his pack and making good to continue searching the temple.

OOC: Greatsword actually.

The Kid whistles a bit, then takes the smokesticks, hands the priest that holy water, and puts the rest in the box and hands it to Korbryn for safe keeping.

Yeah, let's check the slaves.

Slaves

This place reeks of filth and excrement. The rear portion of the room is partially collapsed, a staircase leading down below the temple now filled with rubble. There are two human in here, they are lying on a dirty pallets. One of them dressed like a common villager, he raises his head with fear and smiles.
"Are you here to save us?"
The other one lies motionless, he peeks from under his hood, he wears torn and tattered ochre robes!. He says nothing.

A chest is lying in the far corner, beside one of the boulders. A heavy chain and rusted lock is around it. There is a chair beside it, a small table and mug of ale. Looks like an improvised guarding position.

OOC: No other exits beside where we came in then (other than through rubble...)

The Kid narrows his eyes and nods knowingly at the man in the ochre robes. Meanwhile, he makes his way to the chest.

OOC: Take 20 on search for traps (29), Disable Device (if needed); Open lock (1d20 11=28, 1d20 11=22)

Inquisitor Miltiades

Seeing the ochre robed figure Miltiades turns to the one who is up and active "We have defeated the hobgoblins. Tell me where you are from, were you two captured together or separately?"

Miltiades is interested in hearing the peasant's story first.

Thandis opens the chest easily, the lock is rusted and of no use anymore. The chain however, looks quite handy. Inside the chest several items are scattered, looks like the loot from the poor slaves.
You retrieve a hunting knife, a pouch with mushrooms, leather belt and a broken walking stick. Inside a sack you find a carved dagger, empty flask, map case, and a bedroll. Inside the map case you find 3 scrolls. Two are written in the human tongue, but they look like prays, the third scroll is in fact a map of the area.
The map shows Hommlet, Nulb, the temple ruins and a crude line that leads to the ruined tower. An arrow pointing to the west labeled "Temple of the All-Consumption". It is located beside a small village called Hagthar.
A safe route to the place is via Verbobonce and along the Ironwood. A more dangerous route passes through the Kron hills, where the gnomish settlement of Kron lies.
