[IC] The Trouble at Durbenford

[Lazlow]

"Sounds good." The half-orc follows Jasper. "Hopefully we can all be a bit more alert this time," he says, putting his weapons away and cracking his knuckles, mentally prepping himself for exploring the other side.

[sblock=OOC]Anyone else want any arrows? If not, I'll divvy 'em up evenly between Padraig and Gil (30 each).[/sblock]

The party makes their way across the entrance hall. A glance at the Deva shows her to be somewhat perplexed, most likely at the bugbear that recently ran out the bronze doors and into the mountains.

A quick inspection of the western door is uneventful, and upon opening the group sees an empty room, similar in shape to that which held the golem. This one has strong, iron bound doors in place of rough caves, though, both on its western and southern walls.

"West with the setting sun? Or South with the good fishing? I'd say south, I'm a little hungry."

Ruathen grins at Jasper's jest. "Aye, but let's ready ourselves, should we reel in something akin to what we caught in that last fishing hole," he says, taking up a position about 10 feet back and to the left of the southern door.

Padraig has a moment's hesitation, thinking that the plan was to just have a quick look then go back the other way through the tunnels. However, Padraig has never been accused of being too wise, and he is quickly caught up in the excitement of the new doors. He readies himself to go along with the rest of the group.

 

[Dichotomy]

Konstantine simply nods and waits for someone else open and lead the way through the door.

 

[TiCaudata]

"Well let's do this then." Jasper nods at Padraig to be ready for whatever is on the other side of the door. He then opens it.

Jasper bravely explores into the next room, but finds no reward for his actions. Another room, with a door on the far wall awaits him. A small jagged hole breaks the expanse of the dirty floor in this chamber. Aside from a few old cobwebs in the corners and a door at the opposite end, this room is empty.

As he continues through yet another door, he finds another empty room, though a more interesting one. An old crumbled hearth occupies the eastern wall of this empty room. Aside from a few old cobwebs in the corners and a door at the opposite end, this room is empty. The hearth is nothing more than a simple fire pit; its former glory long since succumbed to the decline of the sanctuary. Its color mosaic tile lies shattered and scattered before it, reflecting evidence of its former beauty.

Another door graces the southern wall of this room.

 

[TiCaudata]

Assuming the group is behind him, Jasper continues south.

Padraig, Male Human Fighter

Happy to leave the leading to others, Padraig follows Jasper through the rooms as he goes.
