This is why you'll see me switch from calling for Perception to calling for Investigation once an encounter is done and we've moved on to treasure hunting.[/ooc]Yellow Quaggoth said nothing to Raza and did not react when she completed wrapping and taking the fish.  She had, however, the distinct impression that removing more than what she took almost certainly would have drawn a reaction.  Raza picked up and looked inside the small chest, which proved to be unlocked.  Inside she found: a short sword, a hand crossbow with a case of 20 bolts, a 50' coil of silk rope with a small grappling hook at the end, and a small metal flask of some kind of unguent that burned her nose hair when she sniffed it.  She found also a small purse with 3 silver coins, 1 gold coin, and 8 coppers.[ooc]When each of the two stalactites (marked area 4) were unlocked and investigated, the party found a total of four small rooms that looked as if they were the personal living quarters of a mid-level drow elf.  Each room was nearly identical, each an unlocked chest, and each chest had the items I describe above.  It's time to move on.[/ooc]By hook or by crook, everyone gathered at the base of the winch.  Yellow, Blue, and Plain Quaggoth remained behind.  With the group, however, were Stool, Jimjar, Shuushar, and Turvey.  Jimjar piped up, "Blingdenstone is north, a few days beyond Menzoberranzan.  I peg the drow city at 26 days' walk, and my city another four beyond that."  Jimjar's utterance immediately drew garbled but irritated Undercommon from Turvey, who seemed to actively not want to head to either the drow or the svirfneblin city.  Stool remained closed beside Brinn.  For now, the link was closed; the myconid sproutling offered no communication.  When Turvey calmed down, Shuushar blinked once slowly then gestured with an open palm toward the western passageway.  "The Great Darklake and my home port of Sloobludop lie to the west, perhaps only 8 days of walking from here.  I know the way."  Turvey began gesturing wildly at the southern entrance, but was totally unintelligible.</blockquote>
