[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[Uriel]

Norynth mves up with Kerith, crossbow in hand and gertrude at his hip. Titus is on Guard next to Michelle.

Alexi doesn't want any unpleasant surprises in her back, so she moves the stone back into position and pushes the heaviest object she can find and move in the room in front of the secret tunnel, before heading after the rest.

Firan gulps down the last of his wine and jogs after the others

Xendengalis watches Alexi replace the stone and block it. He's glad that smart wizardess is here! He can tell she's really good at thinking and stuff.

He sees Foran gulping down the last of his wine and quickly gulps down his ale, trying not to burp until the females have left the room. He reluctantly puts down his bowl and pauses briefly at the door, as if to say goodbye to the casks, then moves up to his spot behind Kerith and Norynth again.

The doors ahead to the right and left open into the Keep granaries (20x30 and 30x30, respectively). Flour sacks, long since destroyed by vermin, lie around the room. At some point in the past these rooms must have been the home of an impressive number of rodents, judging by the petrified droppings, but they have long since moved on.

You can see that the chamber at the end of the hall is a large kitchen.

 

[Thanee]

Is that it? There must be stairs somewhere... maybe in the kitchen? But who would place stairs into the kitchen, Alexi is wondering, while moving on towards the kitchen.

Kerith hurries up to catch Alexi, whispering to her, "Careful, we're still in hostile territory here..."

 

[Guilt Puppy]

"Yes, very hostile," Oren mumbles, almost to himself. "The insects hate us."

He does his best to keep up with the group without overexerting himself, failing to see why any of these obvious doors might have anything more interesting behind them than that secret one...

 

[Uriel]

Norynth moves forward, keeping next to Kerith. craddling his sword in his left hand (in the crook of his arm/shoulder), he keeps his gaze moving constantly, his finger on the trigger of his crossbow...

The kitchen is huge - 80' long and 50' wide. Several long tables dominate the center of the room, with multiple hooks above them sporting very old cooking equipment. Cupboards and shelves line the walls. Three huge fireplaces are on the north wall. There are two passages exiting the kitchen to the east and a door to the west.
