From Citadel to Bastion: The Sunless Citadel

[Ashrem Bayle]

Ashrem, looking down the northern hallway, motioned with his spear.

"This way?"

 

[garyh]

"As sound a plan as any, psion," replied the elf.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

After ten feet the hallway to the north intersects an east-west passageway. The eastern route is buried in rubble. The western route ends in a wooden door after ten feet. The northern hall continues beyond the sight of Moon's new candle. Pairs of doors are visible on both sides of the hall starting twenty feet north of the intersection (six doors in all).

Very faint voices are audible behind the door to the west. Faint scratching noises come from the hall to the north.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Bring Us Messages, Please

 

[garyh]

What do you suppose that noise is?" Quendros asked his companions.

 

[StalkingBlue]

"The rat?" Moon whispers, pointing to the hallway ahead. He slinks back a few steps to confer with his companions.
"Shall we go through the door first? I don't much like leaving those voices in our rear."

 

[Vargo]

"Me either. Can anybody make out what they're saying?"

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Either the voices are whispering, or they are some distance from the door. It is impossible to make out the language or the content of their discussion, but periodic spikes in volume suggest that there may be bickering involved.

 

[GruTheWanderer]

Opening the door on the western wall reveals another empty twenty by twenty chamber. The voices are coming from behind a door on the north wall, in the northwest corner of the room. They are speaking Goblin and arguing about matters most other races would consider trivial.

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

Ashrem stepped into the room only a foot or so and ran his eyes around looking for anything out of the ordinary for this place. (traps, secret doors. etc.)
