Remnants of the fighting – broken axe heads, sundered shields, pitted rusting bits of horn and metal – litter the stairs, but there are far fewer bodies here than you've seen elsewhere. Two zombie corpses at the top of the stairs is all.Otherwise the coast looks clear.As you filter through the illusory wall and opened metal doors one by one, you can feel the air is slightly cooler and damper, not as stale as the rest of the subterranean temple.From Alma's magical red light you can tell the room with its engraved walls is roughly circular in shape, with some kind of central chamber – there appears to be an entrance into the center chamber to the east. Those of you with darkvision are also able to see a bronze double door to the west with a palm-sized axe indentation in it.A low croaking sound suddenly echoes from deeper in the temple to the south.[SPOILER=Logrim notices...][USER=6803188]@VLAD the Destroyer[/USER] Logrim can pick out that some of the holes in the engravings on the upper walls are not 'weep holes' for drainage as they appear to be – which would make more sense being closer to the floor – rather they're deliberate additions with tell-tale signs of his uncle Jorlen's hand. Traps most likely.They look like they're designed to shoot forth a projectile...but they're positioned too high up and are too small to allow a pivoting device, so if they were a purely mechanical trap, they'd be no threat unless you were the size of a troll or something. There's likely more than meets the eye to those holes.[/SPOILER]<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b8/02/29/b8022995d4f0f42c6f28639a926af85d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable fr-fil" data-size="" style="width: 156px" />Brydum tightens the grip on his shield, even the stalwart dwarf needing to make conversation to steel his nerves. "I heard about th' murder of Muirdohr Evenhand, the dwarven glassblower in Termalaine. Part of your investigation?" He inquires, stepping over rubble and glancing back  as he and Russet resume their place at the front line. Little does he realize the glassblower was just the first of the four deaths attributed to this cold-hearted killer. "The Dain has called for dwarves of Icewind Dale to return to the Valley and seek shelter in our halls. There's been a trickle of pilgrims, but with the murder souring dwarves on the Ten Towns, likely we'll be overflowing with beards soon..."</blockquote>
