Geramon

Geramon will concentrate a little longer to determine the schools of magic of the different items and ignores Tanarel's, Sydney's and Morn's remarks for he is focusing on maintaining his concentration. When he learns all there is to learn he falls on the ground on his knees, panting, and generally faking the effect of a tremendous, strenuous action.

When he catches his breath (sort of) he yells in joyful bliss "MY SPELLBOOK, I FOUND MY SPELLBOOK. I thought all was lost, but Mystra has been kind to me. Blessed is she!"

He stands up and looks around and a little embarrassed about his sudden outbreak will tell the rest about the content of the books, except the magical ones. "... and that's about all. Except this book here even I can't read. The others are just arcane spellls, which are no good to the rest of you, but all the more valuable to me. If no one minds I will take these books with me. Lucian your ring seems to have magical powers too, and Aaman so does the wand your holding.

That said Geramon begins to collect the books and starts searching for a sack to put his new found treasure in. He then realizes he forgot something.

"Ow that's right, almost forgot the unimportant stuff... the bow over there, the arrows there and that longsword over here also posses magical proportions. Never did understand why a WIZARD would ever enchant a WEAPON. Bloody waste of time and resources if you ask me.

He will then walk to an burning torch and will burn the book containing 'magic missile' in the fire. With a stern voice he explains "Evil magic"

If he is satisfied with the result he addresses the group while throwing his club away and picking up the nicest looking staff "I may be able to discover more about the magical items in due time, but I have to study the object extensively. This seems hardly the place, but if... neh... WHEN we get out of here, I'll gladly provide this service as a token of my appreciation to you all for helping me get out of here... if you are willing to pay any material costs of course

OOC: Spellcraft checks on the ring and wand. The rods are not magical? Is there some sort of sack or other device Geramon can use to carry stuff around?

Raven stands somewhat transfixed by Geramon's magical demonstration.

"Who is proficient with the use of small bows of this sort? Someone should take it. I can use it, of course, but my place is in the front line of battle, blade in hand."

She then continues her clumsy & skillless search for a secret door. This time in the room itself.
 

Lucian

"Magical? Really? How nice." Lucian takes the ring out of his pocket, scrutinizes it, and returns it to his pocket.

"Now, Tanarel, perhaps you could go ahead and do whatever manipulation of that torch you had in mind. As it happens, I suspect that this direction might be a fruitful one for searching, as it appears the our fleeing goblin friend may have trod upon this unfortunate rodent in his most expeditious retreat."

Lucian proceeds to search the aforementioned corner of the room.
 


Aaman

"I can't make heads or tails of this wand. It's got some reddish wood and a brick motif, maybe some kind of fire wand. Anyone have a better idea of identifying it?"

Aaman will then join in looking for a secret door or hidden egress.
 

OOC: Can I use Craft(metalwork) to try and tell what kind of metal the blade is made of?

Yup.

While the others are speaking and searching, Sydney examines the sword with detail. To Sydney, the sword appears to be made like a normal sword, with no special metal or other materials to it. Yet Geramon sensed magic in it.

Using his knowledge on spellcraft to concentrate on the schools of magic that are within the equipment, he can sense Divination in the wand, but nothing else from the other objects at the moment.

The rods are not magical? Is there some sort of sack or other device Geramon can use to carry stuff around?

The rods are not magical according to the wizard's detect magic spell.

Geramon then tries to identify the ring and wand with his skill in spellcrafts. Unfortunetly, he is unable to.

Geramon searches the room for a sack of some sorts. Buried in the desk drawers he finds one.

Raven fails at finding anything in the current room, also.

Checking around the area of the dead rat, Lucian notices an out-of-place stone block compared to the other stone blocks composing the walls. Yet moving it does nothing when the courtier tries.

Then suddenly, as Tanarel lights the torch, a loud "clang" is heard within the room. The out-of-place stone moves out from the wall slowly and stops at 1 inch from the wall.

Aaman moves up to the stone block and tries pushing it back in. As he does so, the shelf begins to shift and move. As the party watches to their amazement, the shelf opens like a door to a dimly lit room.

...And as the door opens, a low growl sounds from the other side. Aaman is able to understand the growl as that of a wolf.

------------------------------
Suprise Round

Suprise Round Initiative:
Wolf
Aaman
Sydney
Raven
Lucian

Aaman quickly dodges the wolf's attempt at bitting him in the thigh. The animal growls menacingly after the miss.

Carry on. :)

Sydney Halehearth

"Tanarel, here!" Sydney steps up and hands the longsword back to Tanarel. He then draws a dagger and prepares to throw if an opportunity presents himself.
 

Geramon

With his books neatly stacked together in one hand and a newfound sack in the other, Geramon feels kind of out of place. Then again, so is the wulf in his opinion.

While he slowly backs down to the hallway, so as to not draw any attention from the wulf he ponders"Hmmm a wulf in the middle of a prison? How odd. More so if you account for the signs that those other creatures came this way. They most certainly would have noticed the wulf. Furthermore our captor IS very fond of illusions. I wonder..."

While Geramon makes his tactical retreat he says in a low voice "Animals are often afraid of fire: maybe we can scare it away with the burning torches"

OOC: Provided this is common knowledge for it is meant as to state the very... very... very obvious. Geramon disbelieves the wulf but moves back just the same. Just in case he is wrong ;)


OOC: Oops I posted too soon. Chauzu has edited the Initiative. This will be Geramon's action on his initiative

Morn

Too many people are in the way. If anyone wants to leave the room Morn will make way and let them pass, and he'll get in instead. Until that happens...[OOC: I'll lurk]
