CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

Two Axe carefully looks under the bed, but there is nothing there. Dara casts her spell to detect magic, but it too reveals nothing.

While Otto investigates the two locked storage containers, the rest of the company searches the room. Otto takes his time, but finds no traps. Then, he picks the lock on each container. Within the chest are five small sacks, each containing an assortment of platinum, gold and silver coins. Additionally, a bejeweled dagger and two potions round out the contents of the chest.

The iron box in the captain's rooms also contains coin...a decent amount of each different type. It looks as though it may be the payroll box with which the captain would pay his troops.

Although it takes a few minutes, you eventually find a flagstone in the floor of the captain's chamber that pivots on one edge. Lifting it reveals a large bronze ring set in the floor. When Coraine grasps the ring and pulls, a trap door swings open. The whole seems to be a sophisticated affair of counterbalances, such that when closed the flagstone covers back over the top, again concealing the trapdoor.

Below the trapdoor is a shaft about three feet square, with sturdy bronze rungs set into the wall.

[Manzanita]

Two axe is amazed at the haul. He's never seen so much money. His head is suddenly filled with vision of eloping with his love...then he glances around guiltily. This is not his treasure. The others have a claim to it as well. And his work here is not done. Would Jessica elope with him and a handfull of gold? Unlikely.

"We could keep the platnum, potions and dagger. I could carry some of it. We could go back and relock the front door. Then hopefully no one would come steal our hard-earned treasure. Then let's head after this bandit."

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

"Yes, let's be after this captain. If we've got their pay they'll be eager to come and get it back."

 

[Thanee]

Dara

Dara continues to concentrate, in order to check the treasure they confiscated for magical auras.

Once finished, she says: “Should we pursuit him down there, where he expects us, or should we head back to the temple and continue there? He has enough of a head start, so we likely won't catch him, anyways, if he doesn't want us to catch him.”


OOC: Making Spellcraft checks to determine the school and so on. (EDIT: )

 

[hafrogman]

"Caught."

Marco corrects Dara idly as he looks down into the hole, considering the captain's path. The tunnel has to go somewhere, outside or to another tower, or the temple. Who knows what lurks there, though.

[sblock=ooc]The stairs are all ruined, yes? Just the one floor?[/sblock]

 

[Rhun]

OOC: The stairs end in rubble above you.

 

[Manzanita]

"He won't necessarily know we found the secret door. At least this direction is less likely to be trapped. I'll volunteer to go first, as I can see in the dark."

Unless there is further objection, Two Axe stuffs about 20 platnum pieces in his backpack, makes sure the front door to the tower is locked behind them, then climbs down intol the darkness.

 

[Boddynock]

"All right. I suggest we carry what we easily can. If Two Axe and Ragnok take point, we can follow far enough behind not to give them away. What - about a hundred feet? Just take care, you two - if you strike trouble it'll take us a while to reach you."

Coraine assesses the coins and reckons he can probably carry the lot without compromising his performance. He strips a blanket from the bed and rips off a portion sufficient to wrap the loot. He then puts it in his backpack, wriggling it around until the weight is comfortably distributed. He leaves the lighter items for one of the other party members to carry.

Once Two Axe and Ragnok have descended, he climbs down the ladder to stand in the tunnel beneath. While he waits for the others, he concentrates on the Invincible's blessing, and heals the rest of his wounds.

[sblock=Thanee]
The only things that Dara detects as magic are the potions, which radiate a faint conjuration aura.

The group descends down the shaft some thirty feet into a small 10' by 15' chamber. A table stands against one wall, and several pegs are jet from the wall. Judging from the outlines of dust on the table, several items sat on it until very recently.

A five foot wide tunnel hewn into the limestone exits the room, running in what appears to be a westernly direction.

Verdis readies his crossbow. "He doesn't have much of a lead, let's stay on his heels."
