CLOSED! Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Game (ToEE)

[Rhun]

The eastern door appears to be fairly new and in good repair. Although it is closed, it does not appear to be locked. Deren informs you that this is the door from which the ogre came.

 

[Voadam]

"Then this is where we wish to explore. Deren if you would open the door Zirat and I will be ready to drop any ghouls that pour forth." Sir Merrick will ready his glaive while Deren opens the door.

"Actually," Deren pipes up, "There's something I wanted to check out in the torture room, as well as grabbing up my caltrops. It shouldn't take long."

Hopefully, the group will go to the torture chamber. Deren will then quickly scoop up the caltrops and then investigate the trail of blood the caught his eye when he was here the last time. With the light, it should be easy to check out.

 

[Dichotomy]

Aeron accompanies Deren and looks at the blood. "You didn't cause that. It is not wet."

The cleric's expression turns dour. "I don't like the look of this..."

 

[Rhun]

Deren follows the trail of dried blood, which leads into the southern portion of the room, stopping abruptly at the southern pillar.

 

[Dog Moon]

Aeron accompanies Deren and looks at the blood. "You didn't cause that. It is not wet."

The cleric's expression turns dour. "I don't like the look of this..."

"I know," Deren says. "I just felt...just had a weird feeling. Maybe I am being paranoid. Wouldn't be the first time."

Following the trail of blood, Deren stares at the pillar before him. He turns back and glances at Aeron. "It can't just be my paranoia telling me that this has to mean something."

OOC: TOTALLY searching the pillar and surrounding area. Search +4.

 

[Rhun]

Deren searches the pillar, and after several minutes finds a concealed opening in the pillar's side. Removing the panel, he is greeted with with what appears to be a shaft descending into darkness, with iron rungs set into the stonework. The rungs appear to be used with some frequency.

Zirat

Looking in disgust at the torture room Zirat mumbles
It's reminds me the deep slave dungeons beneath the arena, every gladiator …
He turns to the others as he walks to the pillar
Need to pass the dungeon's test before he can compete in the arena, the rooms resemble to this one and there are weird animals down there …
Looking down into the darkness of the pillar he continues
It stinks in here, something tells me we need to explore this basement before descending to the deep of the earth

 

[Dog Moon]

"What if they aren't expecting us to come down this way?" Deren asks. "I think it would be excellent if we could make it look like we left and then traveled down there, surprising the enemies by catching them behind. Not sure if we really have the means of doing that without actually leaving though...

"But even so, I don't think anyone would expect us to attack from a direction that isn't the front."

 

[Voadam]

"A clever stratagem, but we don't have much time if we rely upon my light. I say we clear out whatever is up here so we don't leave anything at our backs when we go down. If you can spare the caltrops they will slow any reinforcements from below while we work on whatever is up here."
