"Do we really have a choice? We have to at least try." Ausk will try to throw the grappling hook up.

After catching the grappling hook on the edge of the ceiling's hole, the prongs rip through the material once any significant weight is put on the rope and the hook and pieces of ceiling come crashing down.

A few more attempts and it looks it might be possible to pull down enough pieces of the ceiling to expose a crossbeam to securely anchor the grappling hook.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Pari looks on as the others work to find a place to secure the rope. In the meantime he begins poking around the room, first inspecting the altar area thoroughly and then working his way widdershins around the rest of the space.

[sblock=Actions]Taking 20 for the search, resulting in a 31.[/sblock]

 

[perrinmiller]

On the raised platform, the alter is made from a block of marble it looks like, solid to the floor with a 4x10foot table top. There are carvings, probably of religious significance, on the sides and front. Pari finds a secret compartment on the backside of the alter.

Pari is able to get a look around the bedrolls and finds some basic traveling supplies (travel rations and waterskins), a 1-minute hourglass, weaponsmith tools, some gems and gold coins. One bedroll also has some parchment dispatches in a language you don't understand.

GM: Treasure Updated.

 

[Shayuri]

Maia squeaks in alarm as pieces of ceiling start coming down, and hurries to take shelter near the altar. There she watches Pari curiously, and then with surprised awe, as he finds the secret compartment!

"How did you know that was there?" she asks, impressed.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"das cross beam und compartment-goot find both."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Pari pulls the sword from its hiding place; he examines it with a critical eye, noting the fine craftsmanship, then gives it a few experimental swings. In spite of the fact that the weapon is oversized for the small Gnome, it's apparent to him that this is a fine weapon.

"Hey, guys . . . I think I found it! Let's get this baby back to its true home.

"By the way, anyone want a little healing before we head back to the church? Just in cast that nasty bitch comes back 'round?"

 

[mfloyd3]

Garnet looks over at the gnome, and blinks at the sight of the sword. "Let me have a look," she says, stepping over to it.

OOC: Craft (Weaponsmith) to confirm that this really could be an ancient, sacred weapon?

 

[perrinmiller]

GM: LOL. Not even going to wait for me to tell you the sword was in the alter are you?

After opening the secret compartment, sure enough there lies a finally crafted longsword. The mark of Helerion clearly evident on the base of the blade. There is also a small velvet bag containing 5 gemstones, decent sized pink pearls.

GM: Treasury updated again.
