Airwalkrr's Greyhawk: Maure Castle IC

[Rathan]

Kal-fen

Kal rubbed his eyes a bit as he shook the cobwebs from his brain as well....

"whatever this is.. it is beyond power of my discerning. To me it feels of overwhelming magical prowess but what it is I cannot tell you just yet..." Kal uttered as he wracked his brain in his studies of the first expedition to this place and tired to figure out what the hell this was....

[sblock=To Air]Given the time we have at the moment not in combat can I just take a 20 for an arcana check for a total of 36 in thought back to Modenkinen's trip here before in my studies to discern what this heck this is?[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

Mapata speaks for the first time in like days. "There are no traps here, at least that I know about. However there is something odd about the floor patterns. Magic. How I hate it."

"The symbol has no religious meaning that I can tell either." The Paladin mounts back up and waits for the others to make a decision. "Do the holes look like they might fit that key you picked up?"

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=Kal-fen]You can't take 20 on Knowledge checks. You either know it or your don't. On occasion you may be given the opportunity to re-roll a Knowledge check when some new information comes to light, but this is not one of those opportunities.[/sblock]

“That was my first thought, but I don't really think so. The key looks like an actual key. Well, maybe one could put it into one of those depressions from above, but they do not really look like keyholes to me.”

Kal-fen

Kal shrugged softly as reached into the small compartment of his pack behind him calling "Silver Key" softly as he pack produced it into his hand after reaching back behind him and inside.

"well here goes nothing..." the warlock said as he touched the key to the center of the carving in the stone walkway....

 

[airwalkrr]

Kal-fen touches the key to center of the eight-pointed star, but nothing happens.

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=OOC]If you are done with the star, you can continue down the passageway to the right. The way to the left hits a dead end after ten feet. Either the passageway in that direction was never finished or someone blocked it up.[/sblock]

"Seems the star here is unresponsive to the key... must mean this is not a doorway of some kind... perhaps we should move on down this corridor here..." Kal says as he points to the right... then puts the key back in his pack in the same pocket for safe keeping.

"Before we do go Mapata.. perhaps searching that dead end wall for a secret door might be prudent.. it seems like such a wast of stone for just ten feet of passageway don't you think?" Kal said with a bit of intuition in his voice...

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=OOC]Just gonna move things along here since there hasn't been a response in a week. I'll assume Mapata searches the corridor to the north (I made the rolls myself) and then your group proceeded down the corridor to the south.

I'm also going to use the metric system if that is okay with everyone. As a man of science I find metric to be superior to imperial units. A 5-ft. square is approximately 1.5 meters in width and length. I will also refer to things in terms of combat squares in parentheses.[/sblock]

Mapata takes a few moments to examine the northern passage way, looking for signs of travel, a secret portal, anything that might be worth mentioning, but it seems as if the area has been neglected. There is nothing of interest, aside from the fact that it seems masons were originally intending to expand the passage but abruptly stopped.

Continuing down the passage to the south, your group comes to a room approximately six meters (4 sq.) deep and nine meters (6 sq.) wide. At the far end of the room is a great set of double doors. The massive doors are each 1.5 meters wide and made of thick iron and wood. The doors and floor in front of them are scraped and scratched, as if someone had unsuccessfully tried to force them open. It seems that they open inward, but even this is debatable.
