Of Sound Mind III

Gholog

"Knowing my luck, the green ate them, too."

 

[Jarval]

Tamalruk shakes his head as Gholog speaks.

"They did not leave thisss chamber to my knowledge, and I am certain that the green issss confined to itsss cave."

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"Then they are still here somewhere, on this side of the door?"

 

[GnomeWorks]

Seraphina thinks for a moment, then looks at Tamalruk. "I think you've told us everything that we will need to find the goblins. We will exit the mine, and head up the mountain - unless there is a path to the top through the mountain itself."

"As for what you can do for us, in return for our extermination of the goblins... I think that if you could at least find out where the humans and elves are, and give us directions to where you believe they are when we return, that that would be payment enough for our services."

"Is this an agreeable exchange?"

 

[Jarval]

Tamalruk nods. "I agree to thisss exchange, but I have told you all I know of the humansss. They entered this chamber, then vanissshed. They were alone here for perhapsss ten minutessss, asss I had to move carefully. I sssearched all the passsagewaysss and tunnelssss that lead from thisss sssshrine, but I found no sssign."

He shrugs. "My eyesss are not what they once where. Perhapsss I misssed sssome clue, I do not know."

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

"Maybe we can find something you missed," Gholog says, looking askance at the ranger.

 

[Acmite]

Seeing the askance look thrown his way by Gholog, Adren will shake the cobwebs from his mind and start looking around a little more intently.

He'll start a methodical search, quickly turning towards the creature, "With your permission, of course? Friends, my eyes aren't as keen here as they are above ground--I could use some help."

Take 20 on Search: 20+2 racial+2 Int=24 plus any aids.

 

[Zhure]

Gholog

Using his keen night senses, Gholog will assist Adren's efforts. Aid another, Take 10, total = 11, should be good for another +2 circumstance bonus.

 

[Acmite]

OOC: AFAIK, you can't take 10 on an aid check.

 

[Jarval]

Gholog's Aid Another check: 1 + 16 = 17, so Adren gets the +2 bonus.

"You are free to sssearch." Tamalruk says.

Adren and Gholog make their way slowly around the room, scouring the floor and walls with their gazes. After around ten minutes, Adren notices a smooth, uncarved spot on the wall opposite the statue. Something crunches under Gholog's boot, and looking down he finds that the floor just below the smooth place is covered with hundreds of tiny shards of glass.
