RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Scotley]

Verdis

The Warlock nods at Trevor's words, "I'll keep an eye on our back trail as always." He double checks his weapon and stays at the rear of the pack.

Beyond the shattered door is obviously the abode of a magic-user. A thaumaturgic triangle stands at the threshold. The shelving which girdles the place is filled with stuffed and mumified animals, spell components, and all manner of strange items. A cloak covered with strange runes hangs by the door you have entered through. Another door is immediately to your right, upon which is tacked some note scribbled on parchment. There is a large bed, a small cabinet, a wardrobe, a stool and writing table, a brazier providing light and heat, and a pair of flickering oil lamps. A mat of woven rushes covers the plain stone floor. What appears to be a scroll lays on the floor in front of the door.

With the sound of Ragnok's success, Kurt moves to join them. "Wait," he says before anyone moves in. "If the fiend retreated to here, then he has had time to lay traps for the unwary," he adds. "For example, that scroll lying on the floor could be a devious trap that detonates explosive runes. Verdis, why don't you do your thing and check what is magical, and what is mundane. Then I can decide how Heironeous may be able to assist us."
ooc: Kurt has Augury, Comprehend Languages, Read Magic and Protection from Evil prepared, and he knows how to use them.

 

[Boddynock]

Ragnok nods his head emphatically in satisfaction as the door splinters. He then stands back while Kurt and Verdis check the room for magical traps.

Meantime, he checks the edge of the axe he appropriated. If it stood up under the onslaught, and seems to be of high quality, he slings it through a loop at his belt. If it's notched or blunted, or just of inferior quality, he tosses it on the floor to one side of the shattered door.

OOC: I did wonder if anyone was actually going to remind him in so many words that the noise might attract unwanted attention.

Trevor swallows hard, and waits for the 'all clear' before entering the room, that looks to him like the closet of a wicked wzard.

As you have, no doubt, already gathered from previous posts, this fact did occur to Trev, but he values his life just a bit too much to get between Ragnok and the intended target of his axe. I figured Ragnok knew what he was doing and had decided that the risk was acceptable. Who is Trev to argue with a Dwarf about how to act while in a dungeon/mine??[/sblock]

[sblock=Leif]Yeah, I assumed that it wouldnt be Trevor to do that ... but the way I used to play Coraine, he certainly would have, and I thought some of the others might, too. No big deal, though. We'll just deal with the wandering monsters! [/sblock]

“Interesting... it doesn't look like he fled here, but considering he hasn't gone too far, we should definitely keep our eyes open while giving this a more thorough look.”

"Do you suppose that we might find some item or piece of information around here that could be useful in defeating this wizard, or at least give us a hint about the powers he has that we haven't yet seen?"

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

Shouldering his way forward, Verdis stares into the room. He points out any signs of magic his powers reveal to the others...

 

[Rhun]

The room doesn't radiate as much magic as Verdis would have thought, being the chamber of a fairly powerful wizard. The scroll on the floor doesn't radiate any magic, though the note written on the eastern door radiates faint abjuration. The cloak too radiates a faint abjuration magic.
