"Well the key must open something," says Jarrad. "however, it might be trapped..."

"I suspect those Orcs will pursue us before they do the goblins. We must be prepared for them to attempt to enter this room. I think I'll have a shot at that key, though, while we're waiting."

Reinert keeps his nocked bow in hand as he approaches the statue.

How high is the key held? Does the key appear to be made of metal, or something other that what the rest of the statue is made of? Does it appear that the key could be removed w/o damaging the statue?

I crouch behind one of the benches, aiming my crossbow at the door. I'll shoot anything that comes in.

Reinert

Are we able to knock over the benches to provide greater cover? Do we hear sounds of combat outside the doors?

Emerald · Feb 17, 2003

You can knock over the benches to provide cover. There is the sounds of combat outside the door. After a minute or two the sounds die down and all is quiet outside. (Let me know if you wanted to do something during the battle besides wait for it to end)

Krug · Feb 17, 2003

I think we'll just wait for it to end.

Cautiously, Jarrad opens the door and looks out.

Capellan · Feb 17, 2003

Waiting for it to end was the whole point of coming in here, so we definitely do that

I cover Jarred as he opens the door, entertaining idle fantasies of clipping his ear with a crossbow bolt.

Reinert is still interested in the key. Is it getable? He was looking into that as the fight progressed outside.

Reinert: After inspecting the key you think it may be a trigger for some sort of device or mechenism.

Jarrad: As you open the door you see one injured orc disappering to the north around the corner to the left. In the hallway are the dead bodies of 3 goblins and 3 orcs.
