Bael strikes the tip of his second sunrod, to light the party's way, and the group cautiously proceeds forth from the store room.

A quick but careful foray to the east turns up no dangers down that passage, undead or otherwise. Likewise, a cautious examination of the pillared room wherein the zombies first made their foul presence known...nothing moving there. It appears that if Keoni really did hear something moving in the hall the night before, it must have slipped away to parts unknown once again.

With the situation safe for now, it falls to the party to choose where to explore next.

(Double doors leading west from the initial entrance hallway ('A'), or single door in the northwest of the first zombie fight room ('B')?)

Bael, carrying his longbow in his left hand and the lit sunrod in his right, shudders as they exit the storeroom. "And so it begins again," he mutters in anticipation of the (long) day ahead. "I say we take the single door first," the elven warmage suggests. "Anar and I head nothing behind it yesterday, and we can better control the battle through a single door."

"Chongo think we end up in each room, it makes no difference which first. Single door as good as double doors."

He collects his javelins and returns them to the slender quiver at his waist. The savage runs a thumb across the resharpened edge of his handaxe and grins.

"No Zombie Master here to order the dead not to walk."

A night's worth of sleep seemed to have reinvigorated his spirits.

"While there is that pool here, I can't recommend the quality of these particular facilities. Best to use those of another establishment. This right hand door looks good to me."

Keoni nods with the others, and hefts his shield and dagger once more. Morning has dawned, and it is once again time to move forward. The rest has restored his resolve and he stands ready to do battle. The spirit of the Storm Serpents rests strong within him, and fills him with their power.

Anar moves to listen at the single door one last time before the group attempts to breach the portal. He draws his borrowed sickle as he does so.

Chongo moves just south of the door and prepares himself to attack whatever comes out of the door.

(With stonegod's access uncertain for today, I'll press on...)

Anar listens carefully at the single door, but hears nothing from the other side. After a careful search for traps turns up nothing, the group stands ready to proceed, and Chongo shoulders open the door.

On the other side, a short hallway snakes winds northwest to another sodden door. A few small, pale centipedes skitter away in the golden glow of Bael's sunrod, disappearing through cracks in the walls, but no threat emerges.

Pressing on, Anar listens at this newest door, and searches it. Hearing no sound from the other side, and finding nothing dangerous, the party continues through.

Beyond, the party looks in upon a 20x15 room, supported by a single pillar. Another wooden door exits in the room's western wall. The floor here is stained darkly, and some lengths of rusty chain are bolted to the walls in several places. The purpose of the room is not clear, but it is easy to speculate that at one time people may have been imprisoned here...or worse.

Anar speaks, but keeps his voice low so that it cannot be heard from behind the new door. "As interesting as this place might be if not for our life or death situation, I think we should press on. Though perhaps a quick search of the room is in order."


OOC: Anar will quickly search the room (+3 search) and then listen at the new door (+2 listen - keoni's aura).

"Chongo think all halls lead to same place; this looks like hidden place for pirates or smugglers. Chongo think there may be way out - people who built this have to have a way into tunnels besides small hole."
