Kaelan, Charles and Sepoto search the area where the stairs have placed them. There is no source of light, but with Kaelan's sunrod, they are able to tell that they are in a medium-sized room. There are exits to the North, South, East and West.

They find no traps or anything else interesting in the room they currently occupy.
 


"At least it seems the bandits never made it this far in. That's good for us."

Sepoto glances around, looking this way and that, uncomfortable in the dust-choked tunnel. The weight of ages seems to be pushing down upon him from the crumbling blocks above.

"Perhaps, Friend-Catherine, it is a good sign. Perhaps not. Perhaps something kept them out. Sepoto would then be thinking this may not be such a good thing for us, after all."
 

"It is good because it means they did not take or destroy whatever is here," Trebuchet announces. "It also means whatever defenses are here were never overcome. This is also good."
 

Shayuri said:
"It also means whatever defenses are here were never overcome. This is also good."

Sepoto chuckles ruefully,

"Friend-Trenchbucket, by what you say, it also means the 'defenses' now wait for us. Is this truly a good thing?"
 

"Indeed!" burbles the warforged brightly, interrupted by another grinding noise from some damaged component.

"It means that after a brief period of attempting to be stealthy, we will again engage in the morally justified application of lethal force! That is, if the pattern that has emerged to the present holds."
 

Turning back and looking at the warforged, slightly unnerved by the fact that the ominous grinding noise seemed to come from the area of the metal man's head, Sepoto mutters,

"If you say so, Trenchbucket, if you say so..."
 

Kaelan

Kaelan shakes his head at the warforged. Always ready to fight. Am I always ready? Perhaps my brother's sprit will make it easier to let myself go when conflict begins. "Well let's choose a path." Kaelan looks around the room before his gaze settles on the west door. "This one looks good. Charles, Sepoto..." he says as he gestures toward the door.
 

Charles gives his arms a long stretch and a few cracks can be head. I have no objections. He moves a little closer to the door and looks to Sepoto, Which of us will lead and which of us will assist?
