Constables of the 14th Ward

[Scotley]

Retbi's sense of space and distance doesn't translate well in human (or half-human) terms, but it seems the likely place to look would be further on.

OOC: Scroll down and over to about 43 AA to find anything on this map. Please let me know where your characters are standing and searching.

Raul at the big doors 5

OOC: Scroll down and over to about 43 AA to find anything on this map. Please let me know where your characters are standing and searching.

Raul will move on down the wall searching for secret doors as he moves.

[sblock=OOC]Raul will SEARCH on the 42/43 wall from X down to R.

X to R on wall 42/43 (1d20+3=20)

Tell me if I need multiple rolls.[/sblock]

Moru reminds Raul that, "I didn't sense any change in the magic on the door even when Thea bowed, following me."

Thea considers the matter for a while, standing there as if lost in thought. "Perhaps it is not such a simple matter- the bow might be only part of a more complicated system. There were, after all, multiple layers of magic present. Perhaps one bow, or any number of them, simply removes one layer of the warding, and there are other methods or other routes which must still be dealt with. Unfortunately, whatever the story, it leaves us only a little closer to our goal. Now I have a few magical resources at my disposal which might be helpful- but every spell I use now is one that I won't have available later, so I want to be cautious. I have a spell which is very effective at finding secret doors, and that is a minor ritual. I also have a spell which is useful for unlocking things- but that is a much larger portion of my energy, and there is no guarantee that it will unlock a shielded portal. I'm willing to use it, either directly on the door, or on the lock securing the wheel in the other room, but I don't want to do so without some discussion, as it might hamper my ability to assist in later endeavors. Any thoughts, gentlemen?"

OOC: The spells in question are, of course, 'Detect Secret Doors', which is pretty straightforward, and 'Knock' (while it might not work, it is more likely now that we've made some progress).

As the party discusses what sort of magic might be effacatious, Raul begins moving west along the wall tapping and searching. His early efforts prove fruitless. Unless it is a very well hidden door it must be yet further down the passage.

Frustrated with the debate, Wally joins Raul a little further down, but doesn't seem to be finding it either.

"Make obeisance to Meda..." Rahvin mutters to himself, as he is fond of doing. "Meda... the Golden Chalice...Fertility goddess... figures engaged in copulation..."

He studies the door again.

"Is there a chalice symbol here? or a wreath? Devotees of Meda hang grain wreaths on their doors at the Festival of the Harvest every year..."

"Somebody gimme a hand with the lanthorn here, so I can take a closer look, please...



[sblock=notes] At the risk of sounding like an idiot... (hey, it's Rahvin. You're used to that by now ) Rahvin takes another look at the door, looking for the aforementioned symbols. If not seen at the door, then will look at the adjacent walls on either side Z43 and Z44, as well as AB43, and AC43 and 44.

Rahv can manage a 29 Search check by taking 20... if one character assists, this becomes 31... and should spot any secret doors...

[Helfdan]

Alarion of Tovarre

"Please stay here, friend Darius. I shall accompany Raul and Wally, they seem to be wandering off a ways." Alarion walks after the half-elf and their erstwhile guide, alert for ambuscade.

 

[Maeglin]

[sblock=DOH!] Rahvin will search the wall to the LEFT of the little room, to where the stairs beyond lead down to the level of the doors....

I am guessing that means X,Y, Z at 42 and 43....

Take 20 for total of 29... assists, please?[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

[Sblock=Rahvin]After careful examinination Rahvin does find some carving that could represent either wreaths or grain or perhaps some parts of the female anatomy. His search of the designated squares does not turn up any secret doors.[/sblock]

 

[Scotley]

[sblock=Alarion and Raul]Only Wally can effectively look for secret doors out this far from the parties light sources. Indeed, Alarion's intention to watch out for an ambush is moot as he can only see when he looks back toward the party. Raul can no longer see Wally and Alarion.[/sblock]
