Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

Outside of a few corners having been chipped off, the room itself looks in good condition. The nearest usable rock for such a purpose would most likely be outside the cave.

Bahruul

After his herdmate has finished searching the body Bahruul picks it up and lobs it into the centre of the room "As good as a rock eh my human friend?" the big Bous says to Pwent.

Byntrou:

[Sblock]Searching the body reveals the following items: Dagger, Throwing Dagger, Crossbow, 5 bolts, Studded Leather, Light Wooden Shield. All of these items are designed for a small person. Additionally, Byntrou is able to find 2 Black Pearls and 1 Yellow Topaz hidden among a few inside pockets.[/Sblock]

All:

Destiny grabs the cloak and with a big smile puts it on. "Thanks! I've been missing this!"

As the body of the dead thief hits the center of the room and lands inside the circle ... nothing happens. Well, nothing except a single audible "click." It does appear that the floor sunk down, but no more than a quarter of an inch.
 

Pwent immediately backpedals out of the room. Then, if nothing happens after ten seconds or so looks for another weight (in the hall) to throw at the center. If he can't find anything he will return to the room.
 

Byntrou, sorcerous barbarian

Byn holds out the gems to Destiny. "I do believe you've taken out the role of our treasurer, yes, Destiny?" he says with a grin. He also indicates the gear. "The rest of this may not be from your original gear, but it's clearly designed more for a person your size than mine. Feel free to take what you will. We'll probably stack up the rest as we did before, get it on our way back when we needn't worry about being slowed down by the weight and bulk."
 

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Hearing the click, Keryth moves to one of the holes to see if anything has changed at all. Once he determines if the hole has changed in any way, he continues his circuit of the room searching for secret doors and the like.
 

Destiny accepts the gems from Byntrou and places them in a pouch. She chuckles as the body flies through the air and lands on the circle, adding to Byntrou, "I think I may just wait until the boys are done playing with it, though. Wouldn't want to ruin their fun!"

As far as any of the party is able to discern, nothing in the room changes with the click. The holes remain a constant radius and they continue to remain a constant depth into the wall.

The rest of the room looks completely normal: 4 walls (3 with a hole and one with the door), an eight foot stone ceiling, and a single door - the door which the party come through.
 

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Well I guess we’re going to have to go through the scorpion after all...I can’t find any hidden doors or anything else that may grant us access to another room or hallway in here,” Keryth says as he finally reaches the door from the opposite side. Having explored all around the room, he takes a look through the doorway they entered by to see if anything has changed out there.
 

Bahruul moves back out into the corridor, skipping over the pit, and again reaches for the door knob of the scorpion room, his hand slowly closing around the handle, preparing to turn it.
