Clutches of Evil - IC: Chapter One

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Once it’s fully open, Keryth says, “Okay, lets go before it closes...hopefully it’s not as hard to open from the other side.”

Byntrou, sorcerous barbarian

"Agreed," Byntrou says, letting Destiny down and making for the door. "And since it appears to be lit, perhaps we should shudder our lantern so as not to give ourselves away any further than we already have?"

 

[unleashed]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“Yes, go ahead and shutter the lantern, or even put it out if you’d like. I imagine most of their complex is lit and I can call some light at a moments notice if necessary...” Keryth responds, as he makes his own way into the passage.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Making their way into the passage, the party discovers that the perpendicular passage is in actuality rather short. It extends in both directions from the party's point of origin. After a short distance to the left, the tunnel turns to the right. After a short distance to the right, the tunnel turns to the left.

Again, each | & - represents a 5 foot square, so the tunnel is approximately 10 feet wide.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

Upon entering the passage Keryth checks to see if there is something to open the door from this side, before turning his attention to their next decision. Looking at first one passage and then the other, he ponders aloud, “Hmm, there is nothing suggesting one passage is any more important than the other, at least to me...so which way first?”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

There does not seem to be any significant or outstanding level, button, or hole to activate the door in the immediate vicinity.

Bahruul steps through into the newly discovered corridor, again wishing that the boy rogue had not had pressing business elsewhere. He carefully moves to the right and eyes the right hand corridor before moving to the left and seeing what lies down the left hand branch.

"I suppose it's entirely possible the two corridors merely join back up on the other side of whatever's here in the middle," Byntrou suggests. "Unless someone has any strong feelings, I'm generally partial to the right: avoid the sinister side and all that."

 

[Nonlethal Force]

"I'm generally partial to the right: avoid the sinister side and all that."

Destiny snickers at Byntrou. "I didn't realize the Boes carried around superstitious behavior like that. You probably don't care for left handed people, either ..." She gives the bous a wink to let him know she was kidding.

Bahruul:
[Sblock]Peeking to the right hand branch reveals three guards about 60 feet down the tunnel. They appear to be one humanoid of some sort and two goblins. The left hand tunnel appears to be clear. The guards do not seem to know you are there - or else they do not care. It seems certain at that distance they would have heard the secret entrance mechanism to this tunnel.[/Sblock]

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric

“I though such might be possible myself Byntrou, though I don’t know why they’d do it...”

“Bahruul, have your glimpses into the corridors given you any insight?” Keryth asks as Bahruul returns.
