"I'm sure those charred boxes have nothing to do with me." Bazrim responds. "That's right, you couldn't see from your pit. And don't bother trying to sneak around, I'm sure anything that's around would have heard the crumbling of that walkway." He then shakes his head at the thought whatever might be out there is completely deaf.
Nethezar looks at Ilya. "I know, you'd never expect a dwarf and elf couple. But they do have the very cutest of pet names. And you should hear her purr when she strokes his beard..."
Erdolliel, meanwhile, drops down. Her search turns up nothing, save a great deal of dust, suggesting that this room is seldom, if ever, used. She finds the door still locked (apparently requiring a key from either side) but not trapped. Her first attempt to bypass the lock fails.

"Well THAT was worth it." Kushnak spits angrily as he swings over the edge and climbs down the rope.
Looking up to Eskard, he says disturbingly politely "Eskard, wait for everyone else, release the rope and come down so we can move on. We have weeks of waiting in the rooms ahead."
Eskard waits for everyone to descend and releases the hook before jumping down to follow the others.
[sblock=oc]Jump: can't fail, suckers[/sblock]

The group clambers down the rope. While Kushnak very nearly falls the short distance, everyone manages to make it to the bottom. Ilya coughs in the rising dust.
Erdolliel's first attempt on the locked door fails, but, again after taking a moment to calm herself, she slips it open.
The door opens to a dark chamber absolutely packed with boxes and bookcases overflowing with ledgers and papers in no apparent order. Even though the room is small, thoroughly searching it would take an immense amount of time.
[sblock=OOC]Gotta love climb checks. Since you all suck at climbing, I'm assuming you'll take the time to knot the rope. Nethezar won't even try it otherwise.

Everyone makes it.
Open lock on next door: 7+ fail; take 10, succeeds
To put Erdolliel's sense of the task of searching into game terms: each search check will require 10 minutes (instead of the normal full round to search a 5x5 area).[/sblock]

Erdolliel looks into the latest room and then looks back at Kushnak. "It would take almost 2 hours to search through all of that. It does look like someone's been in there more recently though... Maybe there would be something useful, like an expalnation of who's running this place."
