Crossed Paths, Part III

[Inez Hull]

Ehldannis lets his curiousity get the better of him for a while and spends time just looking at the paintings, trying to interpret them if he can. He eventually recollects his wits and goes about a methodical search of the room for any secret doors.

Marcus, a gypsy

After having done this a couple of times now, Marcus and the others coordinate their efforts much more easily now.

Marcus either assists Ehldannis or Tullius, or searchs himself. Whichever is the most efficient.

 

[Manzanita]

No secret doors are found.

 

[Krilith]

~Dhormium frowns and throws his arms up in air~
"Bah, we've found some undead...there is a very nice looking chair and a stupid gate we can't open! i can't believe this is happening.
Octar, want to have another go at the gate? maybe we can budge if we hassle it a while...have we searched everywhere? Eldhanis..did we check around the place where we came down the stairs? the one you quite effectively cleared out?"

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Perhaps," says Octar reluctantly, "We should see what's in the crypt." Oh, he knows what's in the crypt- something that will be quite unhappy its coffin lid just got lifted off. Regardless, it seems to him the most likely place for the potion.

 

[Manzanita]

DM note: Ehldannis might check his spell list before giving up on further progress down here...

 

[Inez Hull]

"I have magic that can aid us but I am unable to use it without undertaking the appropriate mental exercises.... which are usually more effective after a period of mental rest, what you humans would call sleep. Are we planning on staying down in these caverns until we have found what we are seeking? If so perhaps we can follow Dhormium's suggestion and search all the walls and corridors back the way we have come."

 

[Despaxas]

"Sounds like a plan. Let's do it!" Tullius starts going over all the walls.

 

[doghead]

Marcus Romeri

Marcus considers Ehldannis' question for a moment.

"There really isn't anywhere to go. The surface is a fair trek away, and I'm not sure how the sphinx would react to us disappearing up to the surface. Perhaps its easiest to just take some time down here.

"We can work on the walls and gate while Ehldannis rests."

 

[Manzanita]

The party finds no secret doors on the ground level in either room. The gargoils seem to gaze down malevalently from their ledge as the skeleton room is searched. But they envince no sign of life. The only obvious next moves here in the crypts would be to open the last 'coffin' or to somehow get through the metal gate.
