Legacy of Death Part I: Most Infamous Danger

[ecayford]

Forge opens the door.

 

[TerraDave]

You see a tunnel before you. I goes about 20 feet then turns southward.

 

[Flaming Bob]

After watching Forge's investigation in silence, Lucien steps up "Same formation as before?"

 

[ecayford]

Works for me. Lucian will move forward. Forge and Ghen will stay within 25 feet and the wizard and ranger will take up the lead with the light.

Unless anyone objects. . .

 

[Buckthorn]

Buckthorn has no objections and will follow Forge and Lucien through the door.

Do we hear anything? (Perception)

Also, before breaking camp, Buckthorn would feed and water the remaining horses and pony, and tether them. Buckthorn would also try to move them from where they had been tethered before and try to find a place that might be concealed from hungry owl bear eyes (and claws... and maws...). He will also attempt to build some kind of concealment with the foliage to hide the horses. (Nature)

 

[ecayford]

As we move forward, Forge is examining the passageway for secret doors or any other indication that the walls, floor ceiling etc have or can be moved.

 

[TerraDave]

Lucian goes ahead, while the rest search behind him.

You come to stairs going south. After about 20 feet of stairs, the tunnel turns back east. After another 15 feet or so, you see a big pit. There is nothing subtle about it. It covers the 10' width of the hall. 10' deep, it fills 30 feet of the hall. Its floor is a mass of wide-set rusted iron spikes.

 

[Flaming Bob]

Looking down at the rust, Lucien mutters "Hmph. Must not get many visitors".

The thief carefully looks up to see if anything on the ceiling corresponds to the pit, such as more spikes, or spike sized holes.

 

[ecayford]

Forge offers to hold a rope tied to Lucian if he decides to cross the pit.

 

[TerraDave]

You all stand around, and stare at the big, open, uncovered, pit.

Edit: I have added the illustration, though in it the pit seems a bit short.
