IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel is relieved as she is lifted out of the silence effect.

Seemingly unconcerned for the elf's health, Nethezar comments, "An ingenious trap. Perhaps more effective if we had not already noticed the other illusory wall."

Kushnak gives Erdolliel some healing from his wand.

The elf manages to rig the pit trap to stay closed for at least a little while. The elf crosses to check the doors for traps, but quickly realizes that the doors are completely fake. Their only purpose was to lead an intruder into the clever pit trap.
[sblock=OOC]Kush heals her 14 damage (bad rolls). Erdolliel has 9 damage.[/sblock]

"The worst part is that this shoddy little trick worked!" Erdolliel says as she moves to the other end of the hall and checks those doors. [sblock=oc]Search +16 for traps as she goes to the door. search the door and check for locks OL +13[/sblock]

Kushnak, unsatisfied with the state of Erdolliel's wounds casts again.

"True persistence would suggest the other door is just a trap too. Otherwise you just happen to be unlucky."

[sblock=oc] last clw from his wand.[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

"If that door was fake as well, there would be nothing further to this place."

After receiving the remaining healing from Kushnak, Erdolliel carefully makes her way to the other doors. She finds that they are not fake, not trapped, and not even locked.
[sblock=OOC]Good roll; Erd is fully healed.[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel looks over her shoulder at Nethezar and says, "It might be pleasant if there was nothing further to this place." She then turns back to the doors and opens them.

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel opens the doors, which lead to another room. Two tables, each surrounded by plain wooden chairs, sit in the middle of this chamber. Unorganized heaps of maps, notes, and books cover each table. A large map of the Free City hangs on the opposite wall.

The room appears unoccupied.

 

[o3caudata]

Kushak follows Erdolliel into the room, careful to step where she has stepped. Once inside he comments, "This looks like a war room. If there are any answers to be had in this place, they're in this room."

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel works her way around the room searching it all. She finishes the search with the pile of maps and notes, looking for information on who these people were and why they were hunting the party.[sblock=oc]search +16[/sblock]

 

[Dichotomy]

Erdolliel begins examining the room. She discovers, along the south wall near the east corner, a secret door. Other than that, the elf finds nothing notable, except for sifting through the actual contents of the documents, which would take a great deal of time.

 

[TiCaudata]

"I have no spells, and while that isn't any difference to me per se, they would potentially be useful. If the two of you are both good on spells, we can carry on, I'll use wands and the like.

I think we should figure out what these papers might tell us first as well. Knowledge is as useful of a weapon as a sword. What do you both think?"
