"I think I'm basicly useless here but if your allow me tio stay I can help some what. Undead are not effected by most of my powerful Psi tallents." Fallon says. He will search the ceiling and high up on the walls for any switches.

Malikar turns to Fallon, scowling. There you go again, claiming your weakness. Humility is a virtue, my friend, but aren't your complaints a little excessive. As you well know, more than undead lurks here. If lucky, we may encounter the group we previously avoided, and I do not recall your weakness against the claw-digger.
Are all halflings like this, Malikar wonders. He could tell why Hendel hated the creatures, if Fallon was any representative. A powerful master of the mind who could disable iron-hearted men through sheer force of will, and he claimed weakness.

"Yes, we're still searching outside the door," Titus replied. "The Banewarrens are quite big and there could be another way that the bone ringed ones could have taken. They did have access to a wide variety of individuals, including the ones we've already defeated."
Titus continues to keep on the lookout for the blue skinned one that disappeared.

Malikar starts shaving with his sword again, cutting the bristles with the magically sharp blade slowly and carefully. If a mere umber hulk or similar creature could pierce the Banewarrens, they would not have stood as long as they did. Shapechanging magics and not exaclty rare, you know. Malikar pauses while rubbing his gloved hand over his cheek.
What strength of character is there in knowing one's worth? Fallon is merely surrendering to humanity's greatest fear. Our greatest fear is not that we are weak, but that we are powerful beyond measure and that we can make a difference in the world.* Malikar smiled, pleased at his speech. It was definitely worth remembering.

The door remains closed and secure, so Krug and Verakka examine the other exits from the room.
The northwest passage leads to the room in which Kalerecent took shelter.
The northeast passage leads to another chamber. A number of curved brass plates lie about the floor. Tools of all sorts surround a toppled (and probably rotten) work table in the middle of the room. The materials look similar to those which make up the strange device in the great hall.
The southeast passage still shows traces a lamia's footprints. There is a doorway just south of the great hall, but the corridor also twists to the east and then goes south again. The corridor becomes a long hall, 20 feet wide, that ends in a T-intersection. The left and right branches form a narrower hall filled with steel doors, some of which hang open. Before the intersection another door leads to the west and a hallway leads to the east (back to the room with the giant metal vat where you fought the vermin wights).
Examining the steel doors in the southern hallway, you discover rooms of all shapes and sizes. It appears that only two of them were ever used.
In the first a long metal box, not unlike a lidless coffin, sits propped upon a stand at a 45 degree angle. An inset amethyst marks each of its four corners. The inside of the box has six pairs of leather straps arranged in a fashion that suggests that something, or more likely someone, was confined within.
The other conspicuous cell lies behind an enruned door. Within, it is extremely cold - almost freezing. Water covers the floor in the room and the hall near the door.
