Jonas unrolls the backpack, to see if something was hidden within.

The smell is awful as Jonas unrolls the filth-soaked bedroll, and he fights to keep down the contents of his stomach. As he unrolls the bedroll to its full length, a 2-foot long flat iron bar bounces out onto the ground. There appears to be a small button on one end.

Jonas gigngerly holds it up, wipes it clean and stows it away for later examination.

Courage picks up the silk rope, hitches it to her pack, and leans in to examine the item in the bedroll.

Courage sees the same thing as Jonas, a 2-foot flat iron bar with a button at one end. There doesn't seem to be anything else of interest in this room, and as Shai has pointed out, the only apparent entrance is also the only apparent exit.

"Huh" says Courage, leading the way to the next room.

 

[Mista Collins]

With her dagger in hand, Tanith follows Courage into the next room.

"Friends, we shouldn't stay overlong in these warrens. Unlike heironeous I am not allmighty, and I am nearing the limits of my healing powers" Jonas says quietly, after speaking the last rites for the unknown corpse. He follows the rest, shield and sword at the ready.

[sblock=ooc] I think it will be fair to say that at least three minutes have gone by since killing the bombardier beetles. In that time Jonas has adjusted the dead human, given him rites, and pilfered his belongings. If I'm doing the math right, 3 minutes equals 30 rounds. That being said...[/sblock]

Jonas's bless spell has come to an end. Jonas's bull's strength spell has also come to an end.

As you approach the next door, you see that it is barred from your side. If anything is on the other side, it won't be leaving easily.

Status:
Jonas Cleighton 31/36
Courage Bloodstone 34/34
Shaimon Hu'u 22/32 (barkskin 246 rounds)
Tanith Dathius 18/20
Dyspeer 20/29

"If this door is barred from this side, I am assuming something that is meant to stay in there will be in staying in there." Tanith says with a smile. "Or whatever is on the other side wasn't meant to make it into this room. But the problem with the last theory is, why weren't any other types of entrances to this room barred as such?"

Tanith clenches the dagger in her hand a little tighter and eyes the door. "Shall we remove the bar and take a look?"
