[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5624782, member: 16069"] Big Uppity's chamber is, if anything, even more of a mess- the Wolves have not helped the matter- fur and dung litters the Goblin King's chamber, as does rubble, fallen beams and junk. The entire place is lit by hundreds of smelly candles... The walls bare the trophies of past battles- broken swords, torn banners, and yes that is the 'Moaning Lissette', but only a copy- and annotated, she sports a very healthy moustache. You wade in and have a good look around, of particular interest is of course the throne, either side of which are large leather sacks that are full of gold coins, just spilling out... And here's what you find- Pinned to the throne are a collection of rotten ears, they seem to be mostly Dwarven but, other examples are included in the collection. The gold coins in the sacks are fakes- this is confirmed in moments, they're copper coins, painted in gold- they would fool someone from a distance but up close the workmanship is non-existent, they've just been dipped in gold paint and have since begun to flake and chip. Mardred estimates there are in excess of 2,000cp in the sacks but they're very encumbering. That's not to say that the pile was not worth searching- shifting the sacks aside reveals a beautifully crafted Warhammer, on one side of the throne, again superior workmanship- Tannheim. And on the other side of the throne a Dagger, gain wonderfully constructed, although the item is not Tannheim construction- it is instead made of some unknown black metal- a real nasty piece of work, but clearly superior make. The throne itself seems to be on uneven ground, odd- Kazz rips the thing away from the wall, below is a small stone panel, clearly a cache or hiding place... it would take an act of great strength to open the thing. The door to the east is a wonder, twice the size of a normal single door, the thing is bursting from its doorframe- it is rotten to the touch, clearly water-logged and sodden- the doorframe has cracked in several places as the door has expanded. Again it would perhaps take a great feat of strength to some how get the door open. Things that need accounting for- From the previous chamber- Potion of Healing Gloves of Piercing From this chamber- Superior well-made Warhammer? Terrible Dagger? Stone panel beneath the Throne? The great door? Please indicate what you wish to do next, and if appropriate- how...
