“Bah! What a waste!” Zuleyka spat with annoyance. “It isn’t even enchanted.” Still, it was ready for enchantment, so that might be worth something. She stowed it on her pack and followed the others toward the amber glowing door. It led to a hallway and into a wizard’s sanctum.

“Think we caught him out?” Zuleyka whispered, looking around the cluttered room, empty of inhabitants. She eyed the curtain skeptically, however, and then eyed the scrolls greedily.

Ssz'irac shrugs in reply to Zuleyka, staying silent, his eyes scanning the small room. The drow holds his rapier ready to defend himself, should any threat emerge.

That locked chest seems interesting, but he needs to focus on opening it without being surprised.

Ssz'irac points to the iron chest and then to himself, letting his allies know he claims it. Then he steps over to the curtain, using the point of his weapon to gently move the edge to the side. If nothing dangerous happens, he steadily moves more of the cloth aside.

Bilkar Gnome Druid

"Notes. Book." Bilkar says, pointing to the book as he moves over to the alchemy lab. Not wanting to waste time he starts grabbing papers, the sage can read them later, if the Wizard is gone, it's best to get what they came for and get out, if not, hopefully others in the pack will alert Bilkar.

If he gets all of the papers without interruption he conjures up an illusion of the setup he is looking at. Looking it over to make sure that the colors match before getting ready to leave.

 

[EarlyBird]

Zuleyka reaches over the head of the gnome and snatches the two scrolls from the table. Bilkar looks hurt, but continues to grab all the loose notes from the larger of the two tables, eyeing the drow warily. The book sits on the smaller table with the iron lock box and boots.

Alberich guards the door still nursing his wounded arm (finally getting the bleeding to stop).

Ssz'irac whistles softly in surprise as he peers through the heavy curtains in the corner. The small room is unlit, but his darkvision shows the small dusty area, with old cobwebs in the corners and a sarcophagus sitting directly in the room's center.

Zuleyka unrolls the two scrolls to see what they are. Then she looks over the alchemy table that Bilkar is looting to see if there were any finished potions. Then she picks up the boots, turning them over to see if there were any markings indicating it was magical.

"Coffin," Ssz'irac whispers to his allies. Clearly the drow does not trust it to remain still while the party loots this room.

Scanning the small room quickly, he then looks more closely to detect the presence of any spiders in the old dusty cobwebs, not trusting those little spies.

OOC: Investigation: [roll0]

 

[EarlyBird]

OOC: No spiders it looks like they have moved on.

Zuleyka finds that the old worn boots do indeed have small runes etched near the seams indicating they are somehow enchanted. The two scrolls held the spells longstrider and cure wounds both at the lowest of levels, and not something the mad wizard was likely to use.

Bilkar notices odd formula's among the sheets and lists of ingredients, but no spell of bestow remembrance, and no potions just empty vials and some filled with water. His illusion is almost picturesque in its copy of the table.

Ssz'irac notices the top of the sarcophagus has a warrior carved into it (much like the statue from outside), and is every so slightly tilted ajar.

Alberich notices no one has looked at the chest of drawers near the doorway, and finds it to just be a four foot high wooden piece of furniture, at first glance. There are three drawers and each is etched in pearl and has two silver nobs to help open them.

Al casts detect Magic as a ritual, then searches the room, and particularly the chest of drawers, for magic.

“Nice. Magic boots,” Zuleyka murmured. She put them into her bag. She would have to spend some time with them and see just what they did.

Only one of the scrolls proved worthwhile, something she could copy into her spellbook, a longstrider spell. The other one she couldn’t use.

“This is more your line of work,” Zuleyka said, tossing Bilkar the scroll of cure wounds.

Zuleyka glanced over at the other drow. He’d found a sarcophagus? That might be profitable...or dangerous. Keeping one eye on the corner and the other drow, Zuleyka kept the other on the dwarf as he pulled open drawers.

Bilkar Gnome Druid

Bilkar clumsily juggles the scroll before finally catching it and stuffing it in a bag without really paying any attention to what it is while rushing to get the other notes safely tucked away.

"Boots not stop Bilkar from Glowing, or pack from forgetting. Hurry. Bilkar has seen what happens when caught in a bears cave."

Bilkar then scurries over to the book reaching out, hesitating for a moment, then flipping it open quickly like he half expects something to explode when he touches it. He flips to the last few pages that seem to have any writing on them, expecting those to be the most recent, and skims to see if the book seems to contain what they are looking for. He seems to grow more and more nervous the longer they stay here.
