IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[industrygothica]

[sblock=for IG only] what would it take to see if Caerwyn noticed the "last longing look at he keg of stout" and picked it up to carry with the party? strictly for the dwarf of course.[/sblock]

[sblock=Caerwyn]It's a 16 gallon barrel, and weighs approximately 132 lbs. It's heavy, but it can be done. No rolls required, just do it if you want to.[/sblock]

Nothing is evident behind the columns.

Rogash studies the door for a long moment without touching it. He examines every inch of it, including the knob, hinges, and gap around the frame. Finally, after what seems an eternity to those watching, the dwarf puts his thick fingers on the knob, turns it, and pushes the door open.

Shai smiles. "See, that was much cleaner. Lockpicking seems a lot more complicated when I've tried it."

There is a small landing on the other side, and a spiral staircase leads down farther into the depths of the city.

Shai bites his lip as he recalls the trouble with the pixie and her necromantic summonings on the last spiral staircase, but breathes a little easier as they seem to move on undisturbed.

The belly of the city is eerily quiet as you descend the staircase into a long, winding corridor that finally ends at an open door. Beyond the door is a large, square room filled with rows of thick, granite-like columns about every ten feet. The ceiling is low, maybe 8'. On the opposite wall, in the opposite corner, is a closed door identical to the one you are looking through now.

Shai holds himself ready, looking to the others. "I guess we keep going, then?" He holds his bow ready and keeps Dyspeer close as the group moves into the room.

A sound reminiscent of a rolling barral comes from the room that had the spiders and chaos beasts in it and caerwyn is seen rolling the 16 gallon barrel of dwarvin stout into the columned room. if it is cleaner, he will set it upright and leave it here.

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia frowned and squinted slightly into the room.

"Hard to keep our distance in this room," she muttered. "A chaos beast could be behind any column, and we wouldn't see it until it was on top of us. Shazi."

The mephit sighed, perhaps hoping he'd suffered the fate of so many familiars and been forgotten, and flew down to Talashia's height.

"Go up nearer the ceiling and fly around a bit to get an idea of what awaits us...if anything."

Shazi nodded, then added in a tone of mock servility, "And maybe, if there's some new paint on one of the stones, I could watch it set? Could I? That would add ever so much color to my day."

Talashia gave him a pointed look and made a shooing gesture. Shazi took the hint and flew up and around the columns to see what there was to see.

 

[industrygothica]

Shazi doesn't see anything... not even some new paint.

Rogash

Despite the ease with which they passed the last door, Rogash moves up and gives this door the same careful attention.

Roll something.

Roll something.

Caerwyn has been rolling a barrel, does that count?

OOC: search check then Open Lock or Disable Device which ever is needed (1d20+10=17, 1d20+13=32)

"Hmmm, doesn't look like there's anything here..."

"Hmmm, doesn't look like there's anything here..."

There's nothing there, but the door is well and truly stuck. After a little examination, Rogash can tell that there is a mechanical mechanism that won't allow this door to be opened until the other is closed.

OOC: Nice roll!
