[PbP] The Heroes of Silleria

[MerakSpielman]

OOC: Yikes! Sorry I've put you off so long, folks. Thanee: nice, subtle "getcherass in here, DM!"

Kerith: With time, you're able to get the lock open (take 20). The heavy door swings inward and you can see a damp, dusty wine celler (30'x30'). The north, east, and west walls are filled with wine, each bottle in its own little cubby. There are easily a thousand bottles here.

The south wall, on each side of the door, are filled with shelves. The shelves evidently once held numerous samples of fine cheeses on carved wood plates, but they are nothing but vague piles of mold now, and the plates are ruined.

In the center of the room stands an oak table, still standing despite the dampness. Covered with old cobwebs on the table is a dusty, tarnished wine service comprised of four silver goblets, a silver serving tray for cheese and bread, and two silver carafes. All are embossed with images of grapes and vines similar to those on the door.

 

[Thanee]

OOC: ...and a timely one, too, as I see!

Looks like your hopes were answered... careful please, who knows how big the spiders are, who left those cobwebs, Alexi says, while scanning the room from outside, peering over Kerith's shoulder.

Kerith smiles as the lock pops open, and then smiles even wider to see the wine cellar. Drawing rapier and shield, he notices the cobwebs and deduces that there could be fairly large spiders.

"At least we know the gobs haven't been 'ere... What say we get that rest?"

 

[Uriel]

Moving in (with Dogs at the ready), Norynth keeps his crossbow loaded and his eyes Keen (Spot)...

 

[MerakSpielman]

Entering the room and wary of dangers, you are almost disappointed to find nothing dangerous. The cobwebs are very old.

 

[Guilt Puppy]

"I wouldn't worry... If there were spiders here, wouldn't they have eaten the centipedes by now?"

Oren begins searching the room, looking for anything interesting the earlier occupants may have hidden down here.

Kerith snaps his fingers at Oren's statement: "Aye, an eca-, ecosystem. Me mum taught me that 'un."

 

[Jemal]

"SPIDERS? EW! I seriously need to learn how to wield fire... I mean come on, first Centipedes, then giant fungus, now SPiders? And don't even get me started about all those stinky, gross perverted goblins we're going to have to fight upstairs!" Michelle peeks around the corner, her face a mask of disgust as she looks at the mold and the cobwebs. "The wine still good?"

 

[Uriel]

As the dogs sniff about (as dogs will do), Norynth moves to the old silverware, picking up what looks obvously valuable and piling it together for insertion into a sack. Then, he continues hisSearch of the room...

 

[MerakSpielman]

You find nothing but the silver set and the wine itself.

Unfortunately, the wine labels have faded in the humidity to the point where you can't read them.
