From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Vargo]

"Eenie meenie mineey moe... How about left? Before that, we should probably check out the goblins. We should try to figure out what killed them - if the goblins have an enemy, instead of just their typical infighting, we could use that to our advantage." Khaira pronounces.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Investigation reveals that the four goblins are about a month dead, and rats have gnawed at them. The bodies are looted of all valuables, though each goblin possesses a short sword.

During her examination Khaira removes the spear pinning the goblin to the wall. The body slumps and reveals deep-set an impressive runes in the wall. Farah reads the name "Ashardalon" in Draconic.

While Quendros is covering the others, he notices a fourth exit from the chamber. There is a secret door on the south wall (about fifteen feet from the entrance to the chamber). The other two exits are on the northwest and southwest sides of the forty-foot diameter tower.

"Look, friends," says the Elf. "Another exit this room has."

 

[novyet]

"Then perhaps we should head that way instead. If someone went through the effort to hide a door, it's probably a good idea to check it first. Good job Quendros!" Farah will move to the south wall, and update the log in her journal about the secret door for later mapping.

 

[Vargo]

"Seconded. I am glad for the presence of your sharp eyes, Quendros."

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Im back. Finally!

Ashrem readied his spear and approached closer to the door. He appeared deep in thought.

"Ashardalon.... what is that", he asked looking Khaira.

 

[garyh]

"Thank Corellon, for the gifts he has given me," replies Quendros.

 

[StalkingBlue]

Moon hisses with excitement as he hurries over to where Quendros has indicated the secret door. "Thanks to whoever you want, Quendros. Well hidden indeed ..." Quick colourless bats, his hands flutter over the stone surface, investigating for indications of traps or an opening mechanism.




Unable to connect while the boards were shifted. Sorry.

 

[MeepoTheMighty]

Readying his mace, Lamont takes up a position to one side of the door.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

It looks as if the secret door will swing outward by pressing the right stone. No traps are immediately apparent.
