Korbryn glances at the cleric's handiwork, noting the excellent spear placement that caused the death of the second gnoll. "Nice work," he says. Then, he retrieves the head of the gnoll he slew himself, and uses his dagger to cut the ears from it. He quickly adds these to the necklace of goblin and orc ears he wears about his neck.

Ithiken stares at the gnoll head at his feet before Krobryn comes over to claim it. He taps it with his toe one time, then sighs. "I guess we won't be needing this..." he says, and waves his hand. Immediately the translucent hand disappears, and the remnants of the gnoll's body drops unceremoniously into the pool of blood.

As he glances over and sees more blood dripping from the faces of the dwarf, the cleric and the Kid, he wags a finger at them and grins. "You may want to clean that up... you're leaving tracks behind you."

Lenuran

"Oh my, that was a savage blow, I think we could have heard that all the way up in the Yatils." The little gnome says with a chuckle.

"I don't think in all my years I have seen such a mighty swing - good job Master Dwarf!"

"I wonder if there are more of them around here?"

"There are always more," says the gruff dwarf, his rare smile fading. "Now, let us finish with this chamber and move on. Me blade 'as a thirst that can only be quenched by gnoll blood." The dwarf moves to resume his post, watching the exits, so that The Kid can go back to work on the strongbox.

Leaving the dwarf to guard duty, the Kid once again takes to opening the box.

Take 20 on search for traps and opening the lock.

Miltiades uses a clean section of the dead gnoll's cloak to wipe off the blood on him and his spear then checks the gnolls for badges, etc.

Lenuran

As the brief encounter ends, Lenuran stops his lively tale and walks over to the corpses of the gnolls, looking for any identifying marks or papers on the bodies, humming a little tune under his breath.

"These are hideous creatures -- cruel and inhumane. Hopefully there aren't many more."

"Where to next? Should we go and see where they came from?" the little gnome says earnestly.

"Once we are through with the chest following the gnolls' path backwards would not be amiss."

The Iron box

Thandis refocus on the iron box, since he found no traps on his first try he decides to try again, this time the Kid finds a faint, almost invisible magical writing, a glyph of warding, and then he finds a secret compartment that is activated when the spell is triggered.
Focusing again on the deadly trap, the Kid disables the acidic spray device successfully, and then he picks the lock, the box contains two ceramic liquid vials, two scrolls, six tindertwigs and a carved ceremonial dagger with gold inlay.
In addition a sheaf of papers lies bundled inside a hard binding. “G.T” is scribed on the binding.

[sblock=xp update]150 xp (Thandis/Miltiades/Ithiken) / 160 xp (Korbryn/Lenuran) - Destroying Ghast.
60 xp each - Killing the Two patrolling Gnolls.
100 xp (Thandis/Miltiades/Ithiken) / 120 xp (Korbryn/Lenuran) - glyph disabled.

The elf glances over at the bound sheath of papers, and his analytical mind immediately takes over. "Ooh! What's that? Kid, what'd you find?!?" He hurries over to Thandis, and reaches out for the tome in hopes that he will hand it to him. If he gets it, Ithiken begins flipping through it to see what is written.
