[IC] Return of the Runelords

[Guest 11456]

From what he can tell the stairs empty into a smallish room. To get any more information he would need to move further down the stairs.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Michael looks back at his allies and says, "I'm going down to take a quick look downstairs. I could use a second to watch my back and maybe spot something I'm missing."

 

[Neurotic]

"Coming! I can see in the dark." The dwarf comes down behind Michael.

"Watch the woman."

 

[Scotley]

Teodor follows next figuring with the magical light his inabilty to see in the dark is no concern.

 

[Guest 11456]

Shendra states that she will stay with the woman. Everyone else heads down the stairs. The stairs leading lead down nearly 80 feet as the stairs switch back from landing to landing before arriving here. A single lantern sits in the center of the floor. A door to the west is boarded up with six sturdy pine planks secured into the stone doorframe with iron spikes. An empty silver saucer sits in front of the door, accompanied by a few bread crumbs, and an arched opening leads to the south.

"Hrrmph!" harrumphs Drath
"There must be something dangerous behind the door. Just a question is it werewolf, devil or some force for good...those would be tortured by silver plate. Alternative that it is some kind of fey or demon vulnerable to iron. Which actually doesn't help at all. Maybe silverware is all they have, fancy bandits that they are. We should keep going, leave well enough be."

Teodor moves to the spike sealed door and listens for any sound beyond. Then he looks to see if there is some smaller opening or gap by which the silver saucer can be moved inside the door without actually opening it. "Seems unlikely they would pull the spikes to feed a pet daily." he says softly to no one in particular.

[Guest 11456]

Teodor neither hears anything nor finds a gap or opening.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

"Maybe this was a back way into this place. Wasn't this place connected to some caves or something," Michael asks. He raises the lantern and tries to get an idea of what is to the south.

 

[Neurotic]

"Maybe the door is simply reinforced to prevent goblins and their ilk from coming in. Don't forget, not all goblins are weak." Drath offers
"But let us explore the easy path first."
