Return of the Slavelords, Part 2 - "Bright City, Dark Hearts"

Verrick Human Rogue/Wizard

"I suspect I'll be of more use in the second rank," making an after you guesture and steping aside. He raises his rapier and once more calls forth its flames providing illumination on the stairs.

Norbac goes in the front, too, with the spear ready. "Look first those doors" says.

[Go first for the door, uh, left of where we are.]
 

Abandoned Wizard's Home, Gnarley Forest, late-afternoon

The dwarf and halforc go to the doors and notices that they are both fairly large - about seven and a half feet tall and almost four feet wide - opening the one of the left, it leads in a large master bedroom. The room is trashed, the bed and dresser and desk all smashed to fairly small pieces. Thick spider webs chock the corners, and there is a small, normal size door in the back of the room...

"Very strange, the place seems all locked up, but this suggested that someone got in." Verrick glances around looking for blood stains or some sign that a wizard defended himself in here--scortch marks or other telltail signs of magic use.

OOC: Should I make a search or spellcraft check?

Search by Verrick 17+8=25

Verrick squeezes by the two in front and does a quick search of the room. After about a minute, he finds a few burnt pieces of paper and parchement, written in some kind of code... if he wanted to spend some time he might be able to decipher them but it would take some time (at least an hour or so). The back door leads into a small closet, but it is empty except for spider webs... he also sees a couple of fat large spiders scurry away. They were both almost as big as his hand and ugly looking buggers

Verrick grimaces slightly at the sight of the spiders in the closet, "did you see the size of those webs, I think the maid as well as the gardener has been remiss her duties." He puts the bits of paper and parchment into a pouch for later study careful not to damage them further. He moves back to his place in the ranks, but watching nervously for further webs.

Letting the more observant members of the group check the individual rooms Braggi watches for any other signs of danger.

(ooc) If there is any stonework I will investigate it, if not I will just run overwatch for the group (/ooc)
 

Abandoned Wizard's Home, Gnarley Forest, late-afternoon

Past the second door, the dark room is as big as the first one, and looks like it might once have been a library or study... yet it also looks like someone set of a fireball within the room. The book and scroll cases are smashed and burned, the books mostly destroyed, what might once have been a chair and desk are blackened and broken... there are a few pieces of paper here and there. Spiderwebs also are thick in the corners of this room, for the fire must have been years and years ago.

As Verrick pushes past to again look around, the whole group jumps as there is a loud CRACK-SLAM shakes the whole house. It felt like something heavy slammed into the floor below the first floor... for the root-cellar? After the crash, the house returns to silences.

"What that?" says Norbac aloud. "There something in this house really big" continues as he goes out of the room and moves downstairs.

Verrick curses softly under his breath as he surveys the burned room. He sighs and resumes his place following Norbac down the stairs. His mind briefly on what magical secrets might once have been in this room and what might remain if he only had more time to look around. He raises his sword high to illuminate the stairs and tries to focus on the possible threat at hand.
