CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

Shoon moves, carefully as usual, to the back room and peeks inside before entering all the way if it seems safe, he then starts looking around for the trap door he knows is there.

Day 12, morning - Temple Compound, broken tower

The tower is dark and deserted. Perhaps the forces of the Temple decided that the place wasn't defensible enough after you tore the bandits there apart? Or perhaps they have merely consolidated their forces elsewhere?

Shoon finds the trapdoor easy enough, seeing as how Zirat had piled a desk and bed atop it to keep anyone from coming out of it. A little hard work is enough to drag the furniture out of the way and trigger the catch. The elaborate counter-balance systems works quickly, and soon a three foot square shaft opens leading straight down beneath the tower. Iron rungs are set in one side, and it leads down into musty darkness below.
 



Ciaran ignites his sunrod and drops it down the shaft. The light appears to drop about thirty feet before striking the floor below and bouncing out of sight. Judging by the glow, though, there appears to be some type of chamber at the bottom of the shaft. All is quiet below.
 

Shoon looks up at the others. "I shall go down first, unless someone else wishes to."

(OOC: Well, Shoon can deflect an arrow, that's ONE arrow. He's also fairly good at avoiding things completely. Sir Merrick of course, can see, but he has reletively low hit points... So I figure those are the best two to take point, unless we make Deren go first just because he's a halfling rogue. :p )
 


Climbing down is no problem, as enough light from the sunrod continues to shine up the shaft from the chamber below. You descend down the shaft some thirty feet into a small 10' by 15' chamber. The sunrod lies glowing on the ground a few feet away from the shaft. A table stands against one wall, and several wooden pegs jut from the wall. Judging from the outlines of dust on the table, several items sat on it until very recently. If the bandit captain fled this way, it is possible he gathered whatever items once rested here.

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


Shoon stands to the side of the ladder, watching Zirat in consternation. "Er, did we not agree that he must have gone to the cottage to warn his other men of us and then fled with them? Why would he wait in this room for all this time?" Shoon scratches his head and looks down the western passage. "In which direction was that cottage again? That way?" he asks, pointing down the tunnel.
