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

hmm, you're right, but one can take 10 on a skill when unstressed, except knowledge skills. Either way, it worked out ok.

"Maybe somebody shattered a potion here? Or it's the remains of a trap? I've no idea."

Gholog notices the ranger has seen something, but waits for Adren to speak up.

Steeping off the glass as gracefully and delicately he can, Adren will inform the group of what he's found.

"Hmmm...a potion vial might be an option, Gholog. But where did the glass come from?

OOC: Is there a reasonable amount of glass for it to have been a potion vial, Jarval? Or is there too much? Not enough? Is the glass coloured? High quality? Low quality?

I'd like to inspect the walls, floor, and ceiling around the glass more carefully.

Jarval · Mar 19, 2003

Adren picks up a small fragment of the glass. There seem too much to be a potion vial, although not by much. The glass in flat, none of the pieces showing any of the curvature that you would expect from a vial. The glass seems of high quality, and interestingly, it's silvered on one side, catching the firelight from the bowl.

The floor is made of large square slabs of gray stone. The walls are made from panels of a similar stone, but are adorned with carvings (apart from the smooth spot you noticed earlier). The carvings show scenes of mining and forging, overseen in each panel by a draconic figure similar to the statue that towers over the room.

"Maybe the glass came from that smooth spot," Gholog says, pressing against that portion of the wall.

Jarval · Mar 21, 2003

Gholog presses firmly on the smooth patch of stone, and... nothing happens. The wall is just as solid at this point as at any other.

OOC: does the spot look as if it could've contained a piece of glass sufficiently small to be the source of the shards on the ground?/OOC

"Does anyone know of any spells that might use glass shards?"

Jarval · Mar 22, 2003

The smooth spot looks like it could have held the glass object, when it was whole.

Gholog

"It looks to destroyed to try to reassemble it like a jigsaw puzzle, but it appears to have come from this blank spot on the wall... maybe something hit it, or reflected off it..."

Gholog looks around for anything that might have come loose from the stones around it, or directly across from it, or slid down from above it to disturb it.
