He was so engrossed in the studying the door that he hadn't notice her trying to give them to him. She grins and swishes her tail. Once the two scrolls are in his possession, he can tell instantly they are magical scrolls. One of the scrolls is obviously an arcane scroll while the other is probably divine. He doesn't detect as visible auras on the scrolls.[OOC]A successful Spellcraft check will allow Phar to decipher the spells on the two scrolls. The DC for success is 20 + spell level. Phar can try once per day, and I think it is per spell (not per scroll).[/OOC]Quinn looks towards Caerth. He considers saying something, but he can tell the young half-orc druid is completely focused on the scorpion. The others either watch the druid or continue to study the door.The scorpion seems to sense that Caerth doesn't want to hurt it. The beast still hesitates, however. Aeron's stories about Stratesus referred to Shouzas as being male, so if it is Shouzas, the scorpion is less likely to try to sting Caerth. When Caerth mentions Stratesus by name, the beast seems to recognize it as well. It makes the same trilling sound, but with all the talking going on among Caerth's allies, the creature won't relax completely.OOC: You can roll a Wild Empathy check. The scorpion is treated as a magical beast.Caerth has been thinking about Aureus's question for a few minutes while the hutaakan had been going through the small treasure room. The half-orc druid remembers Aeron telling him that Stratesus traveled far and wide, including every part of the Strandlands. Stratesus and the Boots fought in the First Ogre War, explored most of the Thunder Lands, and even went to sea many times. They spent a great deal of time adventuring throughout the Wasting Shores to the south and the Bahyrstian Heights to the southwest.They helped defend Elderspire during the war and often delved into the caves and ruins of the surround hills and desert. And, while the Grave Shores lie north of the Elderspire, the smaller, mainly coastal, desert is usually considered part of the Wasting Shores on maps. Aeron's tales also referred to the Boots exploring many of the Wasting Shores' ruins south of the Elderspire, so it its just as likely that they also found this old ruin and rebuilt parts of it. None of Aeron's stories mentioned this ruin, however, so it might have been a secret that the Boots kept to themselves.[OOC]Note that the greatest epic tales of the Fellowship of the Boot were those that took them out of the Strandlands, during the war, north into the Eastern Shores and far west beyond the Thunder Mountains. They helped defend the walls of the city of Hellekan during the Siege of a Hundred Nights. (Caerth had asked Aeron to tell that story dozens of times!)The Boots became more than heroes of the Thunder Lands after that prolonged siege. They became renown throughout the Chara Coast and the Kingdom of Izmer. At least, that's what Aeron had told Caerth. History isn't one of Caerth's skills, so what he knows is influenced greatly by what his mentor told him as a boy.Elderspire is located just south of the Grave Shores along the coast. It sits on coastal hills that overlook the sea. It is a key stopping point along the main trail that leads from Carnell in the north to the city of Helt to the south. It is an old tower that remains somewhat strategic, although there isn't a town located near it (just a few fishing and mining hamlets).[/OOC]Aureus nods. She understands Litrix's distaste at the thought of being considered one of the lizardfolk. She tries not to sound too embarrassed. "The rogue's symbol is probably for me... well, if it is going to be for any of us, it's probably for me."She waits quietly for Caerth to finish with the scorpion. She stands still and watches her druid friend try to pacify the beast completely. She's itching to try the other double doors, but it can wait.OOC: Heh. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":ROFLMAO:" title="ROFL    :ROFLMAO:"  data-smilie="18"data-shortname=":ROFLMAO:" /></blockquote>
