MiPS Lost Mine Part II

[mips42]

Leonan: Your quick peek inside the bag reveals the glitter of glass and gold but, without a longer look, that is all you know.
As far as the door north of the Cistern, it is unclear whether it swings in or out but there does appear a thinner layer of dust in front of the door an what could be footprints. The easiest way to block the door(s) would be to move some of the various boxes and / or barrels that are in the cellar in front of them.

 

[Neurotic]

Since there is some footprints in the dust and there is dust on the floor, Leonan concludes that the door leads to some pantry or some other not-often-used space.
Returning to the group, fastening the pouch on his belt, he dons the red cloak and leads the party into the secret passage.

"Keep couple of steps back, if I encounter a trap, bad luck, but if I encounter a human, I can buy us few seconds. You then roll over them. Eddicus, that bow of yours could be handy if you can shoot between the fighters or over Vottrs head."

EDIT: [MENTION=6746242]mips42[/MENTION], if there are traps, roll perception for me, Leonan goes carefully forward, but does not test each and every step.

Castagyr shakes his head and follows close behind, ready to take action if necessary.

Eddicus nods soundlessly toward Leonan, then unstraps the shield from his arm and fastenes it to a strap on his backpack. With that done, and both arms now free, he wields his shortbow and joins the excursion through the hidden door.

Vottr falls in behind Castagyr and gets ready to spring forward if needed.

The narrow passage leads deeper into the hillock. The floor, walls and ceiling are all worked stone but clearly newer than the original cellar was. After about 25' the passage turns. somewhere in the distance you can hear a faint scrabbling noise.

 

[tuxgeo]

OOC: The passage had been heading East, right? Where the passage turns, does it turn right (North) or left (South)?

 

[mips42]

OOC: Presuming the original entrance was on the far east wall of the cellar, the concealed door would have been in the southwest corner of the cellar, the revealed passage woulg be going further west and then turn north.

 

[tuxgeo]

OOC: OK, thanks for the update. I had been conceiving the directions wrong, and looking at the top of the map as being North, whereas it is apparently South instead. That's good to know.
