[IC2] Pool of Radiance

"One way would be as good as the other." Elaith states drawing his weapon. "Have the orc take point and I will follow close behind. Since he will be going first, let him decide."

Elaith then takes an interest in his weapon seemingly indifferent to which way they group decides to go. Looking up from the blade he adds, "But we will not find a way out standing here."

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Um, I am sort of handy with a trap. You think I should be second?"

Emagor Rilliance and Peabody

"Yes, by all means, Earmy, or even first if you prefer...."

 

[Thanee]

“You go first,” Grynth says. “Traps are more of a threat in here than monsters. I follow. What direction now? We came from there. Don't think there is anything in that direction.” The orc points to the corridor where Eldwyn, Emagor and Grynth came from.

 

[Scott DeWar]

Earmy nods and heads in the direction that the new arrival had been going to, looking for any place where he would have put a trap or secret door, then looking for said trap or door.

if needed:
search +7
disable device +10
open locks +10
listen +6
move silent +8

Though, given what he knows of the makeup of the material of the pyramid, he is guessing the passages will more likely have some sort of other kind of hazard.

Looking likely that he will be covering the back Elaith sheathes his sword and draws out a small one handed crossbow. Taking a slim dart from it's leather case at his belt he loads the small crossbow and then redraws his sword looking ready to wait for the others to go ahead.

"I'll take the rear," he states flatly. "The Professor should go in after the orc to keep the map updated. After then you should follow with the lizard, leaving warriors in the rear just in case."

He nods to Emagor and Peabody as he finishes speaking.

The party of six adventurers heads out to find a way out of the labyrinth.

They follow the twisting and turning corridors, trying to map their progress or at least mark the passages, in order to prevent running in circles. This goes on for a while, but eventually Earmy raises a hand to show that he has found something.

Not a trap, fortunately, but rather a bunch of bones littering the floor. They are scattered and most have gnawing marks on them. Some are broken. Looking around, there isn't much left of that poor fellows equipment, but one thing catches their interest. A small book is lying in a corner, carelessly thrown there by someone, probably because it was not edible.

Earmy draws a rapier from beneath his cloak with his right hand while moving a bit forward to better view the book. With a gesture of his left hand and softly spoken words, "näita mõistatus", he gazes at the book from 10 feet away.

what did he do?
[sblock=spell craft dc15]cantrip: detect magic
[sblock=Detect Magic description]
Divination
Level: Brd 0, Clr 0, Drd 0, Sor/Wiz 0
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: 60 ft.
Area: Cone-shaped emanation
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
You detect magical auras. The amount of information revealed depends on how long you study a particular area or subject.
1st Round: Presence or absence of magical auras.
2nd Round: Number of different magical auras and the power of the most potent aura.
3rd Round: The strength and location of each aura. If the items or creatures bearing the auras are in line of sight, you can make Spellcraft skill checks to determine the school of magic involved in each. (Make one check per aura; DC 15 + spell level, or 15 + half caster level for a nonspell effect.)
Magical areas, multiple types of magic, or strong local magical emanations may distort or conceal weaker auras.
Aura Strength: An aura’s power depends on a spell’s functioning spell level or an item’s caster level. If an aura falls into more than one category, detect magic indicates the stronger of the two.

[SBLOCK=Earmy]There is nothing magical about the book, or anything else lying there.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Scott DeWar]

Cautiously he advances upon the book, "Please watch out for any threats here."
He then examines it, and after a minuete of this he opens the cover.
