[LANAI] The Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Crucible

[hafrogman]

Rhys rises early and tries to find himself a few moments alone, slightly apart from the rest of the group. He pulls out the metal disc that is always hanging around his neck and begins to tune out the rest of the cave. He remains seated, with the disc held tightly in his hands, for a few minutes before rising to rejoin the group.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

The disc clasped by Rhys is metal, perfectly round, and looks like it might be blank on one side. The other side has some sort of unusual etching on it. The entire thing is very alien looking and certainly does not resemble any pendant worn by anyone native to the city.

Arden mentions the things she notices to anybody who'll listen.

"Hmm, interesting door. I propose an investigation of the door as of primary importance. It indicates possible residents that I would rather avoid giving offense." says Wyleck as he stretches and scratches out the kinks from a long night of sound sleep on stone.

[Rhun]

"Indeed," says Rowan, moving toward the door. After a moment's consideration, he continues. "Do any of you have the skill to check such portals for anything of interest or danger?"

 

[Brain]

Arden nods. "I'll take a look." She pads over to the secret door and checks the whole area for any sort of trap before proceeding to determine how it opens.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Arden eyes the door frame, lintel, and the door itself. The door is certainly not trapped nor does it appear as if there's any sort of locking mechanism. There is no door knob. Arden is fairly certain that the door, while heavy due to being crafted of stone, may simply slide into a recess in the adjoining wall. Putting a careful ear to the door, Arden listens but hears nothing inside.

 

[hafrogman]

Rhsy stands by and silently watches as the others investigate the hidden door that Arden discovered. He leans against his spear and drums his fingers along it as he waits. After a few moments, the drumming becomes more a little tune in his own mind and less of an idle gesture. Then, as if suddenly becoming aware of his behavior, he clamps his hand down motionlessly on the spear again.

"Anything?"

 

[Brain]

Arden shakes her head. "Not even locked. Just slides to the side, I think. Looks heavy though. Maybe Phud can open it."

 

[Guest 11456]

Phud : Male Half-Orc Sorcerer 1

Hearing his name, Phud walks up to Arden and clears his throat. Then he clears his throat again. Then once more. He pauses a moment. Then clears his throat what might seem like a final time. Then another long pause as if he might be thinking of something. And finally it is time for those words of wisdom everyone has been so patiently waiting for. "Whut me do?" Then he stares down at Arden waiting for her instructions.
