[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1565339, member: 14316"] Dunathar’s morningstar slams down on the second human’s head with a sickening thud, killing him. The dwarf gathers the captured equipment and places it by the desk. Examining them, he sees that all the armor and weapons, save the javelins, appear to be of masterwork quality. Taking the keys from the cleric, Dunathar tries them on the locked drawer. One of the keys works, and the drawer opens. Inside the drawer are three books, some more writing supplies, and a small locked wooden box. -- Rowyn climbs up onto the human-sized chair and studies the paper. Minutes pass as she scans the paper, looking for patterns. She starts to wonder - does she have the skill to do this? Is it a Code she's capable of Deciphering? Wait... with a sudden insight she starts to see a pattern! But no... that was only partially it... it was more than just a simple transposition of letters. Were they re-arranged as well? That could be it... maybe not all words were rearranged the same way...? Did it have something to do with the number of letters? Or perhaps the line on the page...? It was quite a complex arrangement. The others watch as Rowyn sits at the desk with the piece of paper. Her eyes fly over the page every which way. Her fingers tap on the desk as she seems to count with them. Without taking her eyes from the paper, she grabs the quill and starts scribbling notes madly on the margin... A few minutes later she is finished, and holds up the parchment: The letter stops there, in mid-sentence. -- Just then there is a faint sound through the closed door. It sounded like another door closing. [/QUOTE]
