[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5962249, member: 52403"] [b]Nashkar tries to open a door.[/b] They walk into the building without even attempting to knock and find themselves in an impromptu library; books are on shelves all around the walls; Pringle is all excited once again, not only has his magical reserves grown in might recently but they also have a load of books they may be able to appropriate should they kill the owner of said books. Pringle does a little happy dance before heading to the bookshelves. The rest of the party look at each other strangely; they all look a little green around the edges from their bout last night except for Sayuri who only now drinks in moderation. They quickly scour the rooms and find nothing more of interest apart from one locked door. Grembor after fiddling with it for a few minutes kicks the door in irritation and instructs Nashkar to cut it down; Nashkar pulls out his trusty axe and setting his feet takes a swing at the obstinate door; his arms swing forward and nothing happens for the briefest of seconds before Pringle screams in pain.
