Stick will venture forth, moving next to Caden, ready to jump into the room at the first sign of movement. His draconic eyes peering for anything in the dim lighting. If he sees nothing, Stick will take a step into the room and wait for the others, his quarterstaff twirling in his hands absentmindedly.

No armour on right now. Move to D23, if see nothing move 1 square into the room.

Sorry guys, I got reminded that I never baught theives tools. I kinda just rolled up the character pretty quick so I forgot about it. If it's ok with you, I'd like to take that money off my sheet and add it but if you want me to wait to get back to a town I don't think I'll use it very much anyway.

Roithe closed in alongside Stick, he seemed to notice the door all at once and quickly shifted to the side of it, peering at it and studying it untill it was opened, waiting for whatever is on the otherside to be revealed to him before he may be revealed to whatever it might be.

Room 1
Stick manages to poke his head quickly around the corner carefully and notices that the hallway (including the blue veins above the ceiling) extend far down a long hallway. However, about a quarter of the way down the hall (perhaps 20 feet) the hallway branches to the right, and the vein seems to slightly split to the right and continue down that path. At the end of the long hallway Stick sees, the vein turns to the left but then abruptly stops. Moving away from the hallway, he returns to the room.
Try as he might, Caden finds the door to be nothing but a simple wooden door, and a quick jar from the lock finds it to be slightly stuck, but not locked. Before he can move to open the door, however, Roithe's head finds a good way of opening it, and he stumbles into the room.
Immediately in front of him, Roithe sees the long table Caden had also noticed [dot-dashed line] previously. On the table looks to be a few maps, but from Roithe's dazed vantage-point he is unable to make out much other than a knife sticking out from a piece of paper. On the opposite side of the room from the adventurers is a dimly lit corner but it is difficult to see. But what he sees to his immediate left is a little more clear.
A fresh dragonborn female corpse lies on the floor in a large pool of blood, entrails pulled out and displayed on her lap in a strange pattern. She is dead, but only for about a half a day, and her body appears to have been brutally abused. Above her on the wall are seemingly random displayed patterns of writing, with large X's above small Xs. Some seem to be circled and there appears to be some sort of writing, but Roithe is unable to make it out. They all appear to be written in fresh blood.
Beyond the dead woman the wall closes to another smaller aclove where a treasure chest lies with no visible lock on it. Beyond a few torches the rest of the room looks empty. There is no indication of the blue veins in any part of the room.
[sblock=Map Setup]
Room Map
Revealed Map (NOT to scale with Room map)
Finally the new update is here! When moving about the room, attempt to move your speed so it is sort of a "round" type posting. We'll be posting in this order:
2 Players - Eblue Update - 3 Players - Eblue Update with the interrupt of if you decide to reveal more of the map. All of you start outside the room except for Roithe, who is one square inside.

Binder Fred
3 rings to bind them all!
Out of pure reflex Mialucus checks up as he enters, for any surprise hanging from the ceiling, and then down, under the table, as he makes his way to the left. Unusually somber - for him, at least - the masked elf squats in front of the corpse and carefully closes her eyes. "They took you for a goat, fair fire maiden. Did you say anything in reply?"
[sblock=Actions]
Enter room, Check ceiling and under table
Move = H5, in front of the female corpse.
Use Arcana on the entrails and the symbols. Mialucus is supposing they used her entrails to cast divinatory magics. 1d20+11=12... No comments from the peanut gallery, please.

[/sblock]"Gibberish."Caden's eyes quickly divert from the corpse, and not just because there is nothing to be done for her. "Watch our backs," he mentions to no one in particular as he moves into the room and begins to clear it of any threats, but with the chest as his obvious end goal.

With a sly movement, Mialucus checks above him and underneath the table. The ceiling looks normal, with some small rocks jutting out from the carved stone. Under the table is some dried blood splatter, but nothing else very interesting. Moving over to the now-deceased dragonborn, even Mia's casual glance can tell it appears that these strange markings are some kind of language, though the elf cannot make out the specifics of the language.
Caden sees nothing out of the ordinary as he slowly makes his way to the treasure chest, visions of gold coins and rupees dancing in his eyes. He does notice, however, that the lid of the unlocked chest looks slightly ajar, as if it had been previously opened.
[sblock=Movement Summary, Instruction - PLEASE READ]
Mialucus - H5
Caden - F7
Rashka- No movement
Cheub and renau1g are now allowed to post their actions, and then I will do another status update. Unless you are posting IC talking, please wait until these last two have posted their actions. Thanks for your patience everyone!

Stick will saunter into the room, moving about the northern wall, his staff held in front of him defensively while Mialucus investigates the corpse and the ever-vigilant Caden watching the scene, the dragonborn turns his attention to the chest.
[sblock=OOC]
Double move to in front of the chest
