Marcus of the Roma.
Marcus moves cautiously into the room. His eyes follow the chains up to the ceiling.*
ooc: lowered/raised up through the ceiling or down through the floor?
He takes a moment to look over the equipment.
"If we are going to be running into any more skeletons, I want something blunt, and heavy.
"Well, not too heavy. I won't be able to lift it."
If needed, he will assist whoever on checking the door mechanisms, or do it himself if need be.
He leaves Ecgthow's question to Brioc.

Octar stays near the entrance on the lookout for anything that could sneak in by behind the group.

Searching the bodies, Tullius is unable to find any cloth remaining. Nor is he historically knowledgable enough to place the weapons.
The door on the north appears easy to open, as it is barred from the side the adventurers are on.
Rummaging through the detrius, Tullius does find several items which appear to have resisted the ravages of time. A warhammer and a large sheild are dirty and dusty, but seem quite functional. They are both made of a bluish metal. The sheild is carved with an elephant-like creature with eight thick legs and a long wavy trunk.
The 'elevator' basket is hooked on top to a thick metal chain which ascends into a dark passage above. There is a large lever in the basket. The underside is not visible.
Dhormium: [sblock]You recognize the metal as Adamantine. You were not aware that anyone but dwarves could locate and work with this metal. Yet the emblem on the shield represents nothing dwarvish that you can think of.[/sblock]
Ehldannis: [sblock]You recognize the metal as Adamantine. It is quite rare among elves, as only dwarves know of its locations and have developed the mastery to forge it. The shield in particular would be of great interest in your homeland. Ehldannis detects no magic in the area, other than that which he and his companions carry. [/sblock]

Octar continue to keep watch as the other investigate the area. He tries to maintain a good view on the two newcommers.
Dhormium looks at the chain, and a frown comes upon his face. He gets closer to it, and examines it further. Finally he shakes his head, and turns away, looking at the rest of the room.
"I suggest we rest here, or at least attempt to. Sure, the decor is not overly welcoming, but we are in no shape to go further, and this seems as good a place as any. Come the morrow, I will do what I can to remediate to our weakness."

Marcus of the Roma.
Curious as to how far up it goes, Marcus peers cautiously up the shaft.
"Would be nice to see some sky again, even if it is just a glimpse," he mutters. "Crawling around in holes under the ground is fine for moles, and dwarves I suppose, Dhormium. I'm sure its lovely for dwarves. But its not my idea of a good time."
--- also says ---
"I don't think much of this place for resting. We have three entrances, the Gods only know what lies beyond two of them, and the third leads back to those damn shadows. Thats a lot of potential for problems.
"Ecgthow, have you seen anywhere else with fewer doors that would watching? If not, perhaps back where we started would be safer. Perhaps ..."
ooc: May be about 24-36 hours before I'm back, so thought I would get it up now.
