Magdalena turned to watch Krig go, making sure he would try no tricks. When she heard the click, she froze, spinning toward the door, rapier ready.

But nothing happened.

"I think the ring opened this door," James said.

“That’s convenient,” Magdalena said, moving forward. She held her torch up to the first few torches to light them as she peered down the exposed corridor. “Should we take a res there before we continue?” she asked.

As Magdalena peers into the hallway, she notes that the dust on the floor has not been disturbed in years. It is unlikely any living creature lurks here, and she starts to look back at her allies in relief when she notices that in the bend of the snaking corridor, there is the fine outline of a square patch of floor in the dust. Being 4 feet by 4 feet, it is probably a pressure plate and can be easily circumvented.

Traubon steps forward and scratches his chin. "That corridor wasn't in the muckdwellers' description. Perhaps we'll find the answers the Baron is looking for at the end of it?"

With the light from the wall torches, Magdalena snuffed her own torch and put it away. She sheathed her dagger and drew her greatsword. Finally, she could fight properly!

“Careful. There is a pressure plate,” she warned the others, moving around the area.

OOC: The torches on the wall of the corridor are currently unlit.


Moving carefully around the pressure plate, where the corridor bends, you walk into the corridor. It snakes its way into the darkness, bending left and right, further into the hill.

James cautiously walks in the front, his eyes scanning for traps. He spots a heavy marble door at the end of the corridor, and does not notice the well-hidden pressure plate beneath his feet, halfway through the hallway.

With a quiet click, James feels the ground beneath his foot sink half an inch. From tiny, unseen openings in the ceiling brief bursts of oily liquid stream down on the unlit torches. An acrid stench fills the corridor.

OOC: Please make a Constitution save for James (DC 10). If he fails, he gets the Poisoned condition.


After encountering these two pressure plates, you quickly find a third. It is exactly between the triggered trap and the marble door, just like the first, evaded trap is between the entrance and the middle of the corridor.

James isn't even phased by the click he assumes the door is opening,right up until the floor starts to sink. The next thing James knows some odd liquid is steaming from the walls and he feels like he spent all night drinking and then picked a fight with a ogre.

Feeling hungover but still standing, James carefully avoids the third pressure plate and examines the heavy marble door. There seems to be no handle or lock, instead the stone is carefully made to close off whatever room is beyond from the hall you are now in.

Magdalena and Gorir move into the corridor as well, avoiding the trigger plates and moving alongside James.

You realize there must be a way to open the door, but there is no obvious way.

OOC: Feel free to try something, or if you're stuck, make an Insight roll.

James moves his hands around the door looking for any small grooves or indentations, checking the floor/door join for any scuffs or gaps. Finally James pushes on the slab, you never know.
OOC: If all of the above fails to provided results James will inspect the pressure plates

OOC: Magdalena lit the first few torches, so there should be light. She can keep lighting them as she goes, I guess.


Magdalena followed behind James, and she winced as he found another pressure plate and triggered the acid trap. “Are you okay?” she asked as they examined the marble door.

“Let me try,” Magdalena said, putting her shoulder into the door. Unfortunately the door didn’t budge.
