[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

Xendengalis

Xendengalis had been looking at the casks and counting with his fingers, still trying to figure out how long they could stay drunk here as the group examines the hole.

Bah! I hoped it wasn't one of those secret tunnels! Looks like I'd have to strip down naked to get through there!

He leers at Michelle and Alexi for just a fraction of a second, then catches himself and avoids their glares.

Erm, sorry... How about we send someone in to see if he can listen or whatnot? Maybe even open the flagstone if it can be done silently? I don't have a rope myself. Afterwards we should just move on, I say. I'd like to find the larder too. Maybe we'll find some pretzels and nuts to go with this ale!

OOC did the flagstone make much noise when it was opened?

 

[MerakSpielman]

No more noise than you would expect a heavy stone being dragged over a stone floor to make. All in all, the carousing probably made more noise.

"How about this, then? We've still got quite a bit of this floor to investigate outside these walls, and then we can crawl through the tunnel. We've also got the grape door down below, and there was a door nearby where we fought the last group of centipedes. I don't really think that just because we found a tunnel, we have to necessarily go through it before we do anything else.

I'm not really keen on going through there, but I bet I could fit without having to go naked. I can't detect scent better than poor Titus, but I bet I can poke holes in things with me sword a lot better."

We've also got the grape door down below, and there was a door

There is only one unexplored door on the lower level.

'We could attach a rope to your belt and yank you back if something amiss transpires.Otherwise, I am for looking down that last doorway.'

 

[Thanee]

Well, chances are, that whatever lies beyond this tunnel is also accessible otherwise. So we could just put the stone back, put one of the heavier kegs in front of it, so whatever it is Titus sniffed in there, is kept inside.

 

[Imerak]

Foran chuckles a bit at Xendengalis's comment. "I don't exactly think that would be wise. I could go through there, no problem. It does raise a question, though. Who exactly built this tunnel? I mean, I don't think the goblins have been down here, and unless the humans of the keep crawled through the passage naked any time they wanted to get down here, I don't see what the point of it is."

 

[MerakSpielman]

I think some of you might not be realizing that the hallway leading to these rooms continues. I might be wrong. Anyway, if you investigate the 2nd floor hallway, you will discover this layout:

 

[MerakSpielman]

So, your choices are:

1) The steel door embossed with grapes and vines on the previous level.
2) The secret tunnel.
3) The door ahead to the left.
4) The door ahead to the right.
5) The chamber at the end of the hall.

Kerith, tired of arguing about the tunnel, leaves the cask room and proceeds down the hall, carefully. Stopping at the next door on the left, he checks the lock.
