Shackled City - Chapter II

[hippocrachus]

How come nothing goes the way I planned it?
"It seems the gnomes can hide their crafts just as skillfully as a dwarf," Orpheus says, pointing out the secret passage. He walks over to it and looks at the others expectantly.

 

[Verbatim]

As the dandy found the door he had been looking for, Zeric mentally cursed his dark luck.

~Of everyone here, why did it have to be him...~

Drawing his morningstar as he approached the secret door, Zeric nodded to the dandy when he was beside it.

"Good eyes..."

Searching for the pivot point on the door, Zeric opened it for the others and prepared to go inside it.

~Cuthbert..let one of the gray skinned bastards be in here trying to ambush us...we need one to guide us...just one...the others I promise I will kill in your name if you just give me one to take alive...~

 

[hippocrachus]

"You're the first to ever say that, I assure you," he admits ironically. He stands off to the side and lets the gol...warrior inspect the portal.

Alinis eyes flick this way and that as they approach the door, bow and arrow at the ready. Since her near death experience, her cavalier attitude has lessened somewhat. For her, the danger became very apparent and very immediate. She could get hurt. She could die. And there were those depending on her in a very real way.

My life means little now. She decided, shrugging away the natural fear of death/dying. The only thing that matters is finding those children and keeping my companions alive long enough to do so. The door creaked open and she tensed, ears, eyes and body tuned to the slightest disturbance that might mark the presence of one of those damndable skulks.

 

[Manzanita]

"I say we avoid the doors as long as possible, especially since one way seems as good as another. In any case, we can start with this secret door. Good job finding it, Orpheus."

Raven will listen (+3) and search (+5) for any traps before trying to open the door.

 

[hippocrachus]

Oh sure, the minstrel found something useful to do, let's all praise him.
"Let's call it even, Raven," he says to the half-orc girl with a wink.
I bet if I did something really useful they would grudgingly like me...

 

[Majin]

No traps are found in Raven's search. Opening the door Zeric is disappointed to not find any skulks inside, but more so to find nothing inside. To anyone's eyes the small room looks completely empty...

 

[Dhes]

Elyas enters the big room, finding that the party left him still standing in the hall way where he was entering there findings into his book. On entering he finds the group starring at a blank wall. “uhh, what are we looking at here?”

Ooc: Map is updated

 

[Verbatim]

Stepping into the room, Zeric looks around inside of it and motions to Raven and the dandy to enter as well.

"Why would the gnomes make a secret room that had no purpose? See if your eyes can see any traces of another door."

 

[Mimic]

With a wide grin Althron gives the bard a hearty slap on the back. "Good job finding this, those gnomes are better builders then I thought." He tells him as he enters the secret room.

"Zeric is right, they woudn't have built this without some purpose in mind. There should be something here." He tells the group as he starts to look around for another secret door or anything that would indicate what the room was used for
