DROGAN'S TRAP
SEGMENT 001
Traveling through the heart of the world forest known as Eldeen you had begun to believe the instructions given to you by Kim Elderich had to be wrong. Weeks have gone by with only Shifters, Druids and Centaurs badgering you. Many warned you to turn back but you did not. There was wonderous treasure and adventure to be found within a hidden cave deep in the forest.
Elderich, the world's richest dwarf (and possibly richest person) had spent time researching this famed cavern. It was referred to as Drogan's Trap or Drogan's Cube. Much of the dwarf's research has been passed onto you. Drogan lived long, long long ago. It is believed he was a hobgoblin architect during the height of the goblin rule but there is evidence to suggest he was a dragon or even a planar traveler. What is known is he was a master dungeon builder. No two locations are alike. Some have it he built the dungeon as a test of his newest theories involving magic. Some say it built to contain a great treasure. Others say it is a prison of a damned soul of great power.
Being caught up in other persuits, the dwarf has hired you to locate and explore it himself. His pay is good but the possible treasures to be retrieved are better. This dungeon is the kind legends are made of.
You have found what appears to the cavern that leads to it. A secret door was found that lead into a long and narrow stone bridge. The mists below make it impossible to say if it has a bottom. Thoughts of having accidently traveled to the Eternal Forest cross your minds more than once. Finally you see an archway at the end of the bridge.
You crowd the entrance, each wanting to be the first to see it but also respectful of possible traps and dangers just inside.
The warforged see roughly 60ft into the emmense cavern and see nothing but a flat floor that is covered with dust with pieces of lose stone on it. Spikes made from minerals collected in dripping water appear here and there. The elf trys to see further. He sees more of the same ... but thinks there is something large further within this huge underground cave.

"What is the marching order Commander?" Asks Knuckles before entering the cavern.

Shield hefts his namesake and takes up his customary position at the head of the line, ready to absorb the first hits of anything in their path.
"I am prepared."

Scepter falls in line behind Jaws, awestruck at the sight of the cavern. At the archway, he casts greater mage armor on himself. "Now this is what I came to see..." he says, admiring the archway. He also activates his illuminating quarterstaff's light function.
Arcane Spell Failure check: 7
He only fails his ASF check on a natural 1 on a d20 roll (5%), so eight hours of greater mage armor beginning now.

"I'll take rear guard." Says Knuckles as he moves to take the position at the back of the Company.

The warforged paladin takes a few steps into the cavern. Shield scans the room and sees only more dust and stones (Spot 13+1=14). Jaws follows him also ready for anything. He spots old foot prints in the dust (18-2=16). Scepter shines his light towards the old prints to aid his teammates. The elf looks into the darkness where the tracks lead and spots nothing (8 total). Knuckles looks about (Spot 12+12=24) and sees something flash or glint in the light as it washes over something. Whatever it was, it is metalliac and about 70ft away. The Elf strains his eyes and believes it to be a body.

Shield moves forwards slowly, ready for any trouble that may come upon him suddenly.

"Careful." Is all the Valenar says as he raises his cowl to cover all but his eyes. Drawing his two-bladed scimitar from his back, he advances forward using the light from Jaw's quarterstaff to help him scout ahead.
