Sharshek finally topples the lid (with Cedious and yes another 20) with a loud grunt and a thoom as it falls out of control to the floor.  Logan snorts at him.  Sunken in green fluid is a goblin skeleton dressed in a fine chain mail tunic and a hefty belt with a platinum buckle.  A golden headband is easily seen.  He studies it and notes that Black sands has pulled the body free of the fluid and now handles the damp cloth with no ill effects.  He reaches in and grabs the body and pulls it out.  No harm.With the body out, Taskerdoo finds a gold headband that was on the body.  He pockets that and looks at the six rings he has found with interest.  Each ring is shaped to be animals.  There is a Snake, Weasel, Goose, Fish, Cat and a Lizard.  He calls up Detect Magic.  He finds no magic on anything but the clothes and chain mail.  Each are a +1 and the chain shirt also has Cold Resistance 10.Joining Vale outside they try to decide what to do next.  Black sands collects the bodies for possible later use (?!?).Taskerdoo, Vale and Cedious discuss the rooms.  They are looking for a pattern.  Why is this referred to as Drogan’s Trap?  There are so many traps and dangers within here.  Cedious answers it- “How do we get out?”  Drogan’s Trap is possibly in reference to once you enter- you can never leave.  Taskerdoo begins taking notes on turns and descriptions of the rooms.  “All traps can be disarmed Cedious.  You should know that.  We just need to understand the trap better.”</blockquote>
