"Indeed, gentlemen, let us be careful," Thea said, her voice little more than a whisper. "Though it seems likely we'll find few live enemies down here, where those cubes were so voraciously active..."

Almost Everyone

Okay, that's everyone except Jonas and SoulFetter, with the overwhelming majority voting to explore to the south, I believe? We'll give the stragglers a bit longer to chip in their two cents.

New Post goes up tonight, 10/10/07

As the party approaches the intersection of passageways, Darius creeps carefully up to the intersection and looks both ways. He says, “I would guess that the control room for those doors is straight ahead.” From the rear of the party, Raul chimes up, “Wouldn’t it be better to clear the area to the right first? We’d hate to get flanked while Rahvin is feeling so poorly. If you really want to move forward first, I’ll clear the area to the right after we establish that the area in front is clear.” Alarion gently elbows Darius and says, “I believe our ascetic friend is correct, Master Darius. Let us indeed explore the souther passage before venturing to the …. control room, you called it?"

“I’m all for no ambushes,” Moru pipes up. “Let’s go a bit the other way and see if we can clear it easily before we head back.” And Thea contributes, “Indeed gentlemen, let us be careful,” her voice little more than a whisper. She continues, “Though it seems likely we’ll find few live enemies down here, where those cubes were so voraciously active…”

Standing at the intersection of the passageways, Darius and Alarion peer down each of the three choices before them, trying to discern something of interest to draw them toward one passage over the other two. Other than the previously mentioned cricket, which is currently pausing between annoying stanzas of his “song,” they detect nothing. After a moment’s brief consideration, a decision is reached, and the party begins to proceed down the branch leading to the south, as Alarion originally suggested. The passage echoes softly with the footsteps of the party, and this sound causes the cricket serenade to begin again. The party proceeds about thirty feet to the south, which puts Raul just off the intersection within the southern branch. Darius and Alarion first, and now also Jonas, Wally, Moru, and Thea see a door up ahead on the right.

Actions?

Darius takes another step then stands aside (near the wall) to let Rahvin or Thea or anybody else check the door if they want. Softly he says [highlight] "Anybody want to look in here? I doubt our path to the halfling lies through here."[/highlight]

Alarion

"Yet we should investigate the room, lest it hide ambuscaders." He also moves aside to let his companions check on the door.

Raul at intersection

Raul lingers at the edge of the intersection, so he can see both east and west as well as north. While the party confronts the door, Raul will hold his sunrod high over his head and peer down the other hallways for movement.

Hmmmm, standing in the intersection, away from the rest of the party, holding a brilliantly shining sunrod overhead. Can you say TARGET? :]

OOC: Raul's the rear guard. It's his job to attract attention until Soulfetter can close the gap and clobber it.

Anyway, this is better than facing front towards the group with your back to the darkness. ;)

Even if their route to the missing halfling didn't lead through this particular door, Thea felt that they had to at least check it out. As the others had noted, it wouldn't do to leave potential enemies (or clues) at their backs- and there was the simple matter of her own curiousity to consider. Just what was behind here, and what interesting things might have lain undisturbed down here? Thea made her way over towards the door, and gave it a quick examination. Once satisfied that there was nothing obviously wrong, she flipped her magical goggles into place and gave the door and the immediate area a more thorough check.

OOC: [sblock] Spot at +4 first, for anything obvious- then Search, using goggles of minute seeing (+15 total). Spot 12 ( http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1310416 ); Search 31 ( http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1310418 )[/sblock]

Moru Sen, human conjurer

Moru stays with the group, giving Thea space to work while glancing back to Raul periodically to make sure no more cubes have surfaced.

"You have to wonder how two cubes found enough to eat down here," he mutters to himself.
