The next room to the north is identical to the one with the centipedes - trash everywhere, damp, smelly, but with no bugs. Very soon after the short passage to this room the main passage turns east. You can see a couple more openings in that passage to the north that look like they lead to more storerooms.
 

Norynth wil move forward cautiously, dogs at his sides, crossbow in hand.

OoC: Move Silently and Spot/Listen as needed.
 


OOC: Sorry I'm late... My Email Notification wasn't working. I didn't think anybody had posted...

Norynth: You cautiously enter the next storeroom. It is very much like the first, rubbish and all. You do not see or hear anything alarming.
 

I'm back!

Kerith will pocket the three vials of water, and move on to the next room. Once it seems safe, Kerith will also search the next room thoroughly (taking 20).

If combat seems apparent (judging from the looks of his companions), Kerith will draw his crossbow and wait for something to jump out instead.
 

Kerith: Your companions inform you that the next room is safe. You search it thoroughly.
Just when you're giving up on finding anything interesting, you discover a folded piece of parchment tucked into a crack on the underside of one of the shelves. It is apparently undamaged, and is still sealed with a glob of red wax imprinted with a thumbprint (a common enough way of ensuring a sure seal when you lack a signet ring).


A couple more rooms and I'll post another "map so far."
 

Kerith will retrieve the parchment, open it, and read it to himself before reading it aloud, not wanting to bother the others with anything but important information.
 

Kerith: As you open the letter, a pressed and dried rose is revealed.
The parchment reads:

Dearest Tozan,
I fear the Captain suspects we have been meeting each other, and perhaps even has that meddlesome Steward watching me, so instead of lingering, I am leaving this note where I am certain you will find it.
I know that a serving maid cannot hope to marry a Valor Blade, but still I dare to hope. After this next sortie, we will speak further. If you love is as true as you profess, Pelor will grant us a solution.
I have been recieving letters from my family begging me to return home, safely away from the war, but I will not. I swear to you, my love, that I shall not leave these walls without you.
I hear the trumpets calling you to battle. I can only hope you manage to get this letter before you leave. You will survive, love. You must survive.

Eternal Love,
Mydoria


It is dated eleven years ago, the year of the fall of Myrtolo Keep.
 

Kerith mumbles to himself, barely audible but just so: "Aw. I guess he didn't get it, then."

Looking back at the group, he says, "Nothing here but an old love letter that never got delivered. If anyone else wants to read it, they can."

He'll hand the letter to the first person to speak up.
