A Grave Matter for the Party of Seven Strangers

[buzzard]

OOC: I just ran that combat through quickly since it was inconsequential. However, I think I like the idea of quicker responses getting a better initiative. I will be working out a methodology to this and will post it.

The room is actually filled with shards of furniture as if something enraged had smashed or clawed everything to pieces. The only exception to this is the heretofore mentioned small chest. A careful search reveals that everything is how it appears.

"Valjean, perhaps you would open the chest...if it is not trapped of course."

Valjean examines the chest for traps and opens it.

The chest does not appear to have any traps on it. Valjean opens it and confirms the results of his inspection. Inside are 200 cp, and 600 gp. His search also revealed a secret compartment in the lid which contains a scroll.

"Alright, folks," Valjean speaks up. "Let's go rest outside. No point in getting trapped down here."

 

[Jeph]

"Agreed. And no more last-rooms. I'm tired of this smell." The gith wrinkles his nose in disgust, and strides forward, for once letting his bow fall slack.

He's just going to go the way we've come, back outside. No readied actions.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Valjean will bring the gold and the scroll.

 

[GoldenEagle]

Agreed

The party gathers itself back into its standard formation and backtracks out of the dungeon. Along the way some dire rats appear to be watching you from the shadows, but seeing the size of the big green orc, even hunger isn't able to overcome their survival instinct.

You get back up to the surface, and exit the large mausoleum. Do you have any particular camping spots in mind? The graveyard, other than the standard feeling of spookiness, radiates a feeling of unease.

We camped outside the graveyard before we went in initially. I would reccomend that site
