Message: <blockquote data-quote="Waynan" data-source="post: 7634579" data-attributes="member: 6876299">"Well, this is where the dog-doo hits the nunchucks." Tam murmurs to himself. He then says to the others, with more than a little trepidation: "Guys, and Lady, give me some space to look ahead. Also, this is going to go very slow; so, like it or not, let me do my job...please. And don't rush me. I am going to go forward 30 feet. If all seems clear, I will wave you forward; but stay at least 5 feet behind me at all times while we traverse this passage. Oh yeah, --- and keep quiet. Some things need to be heard, not seen."  What he doesn't say is that he is also sniffing the air for any distinctive odors of greades, oils, potions and poisons --- or anything else that could denote the possibility of a trap.Tam, when the others stop and give him room (about 5 feet), carefully inspects every inch of floor, walls and ceiling...along with each and every column, top to bottom. He scrutinizes every particle of dust, detritus, and debris. He also carefully scrutinizes each and every rune on the columns. From his studies of ancient texts and symbols during his Guild days, there seems to be a nagging familiarity to something he recalls seeing in a text once. Tam just wishes he could recall it quick enough to keep himself and his comrades alive.Tam is also listening for any drips, drops, trickles, grindings, groanings, stresses or whispers of something pulling, pushing, or just plain moving in a place where, barring a living (he chuckles), or Undead creature walking about, nothing should be making noise.Search rolls per each 5 feet:271323301723Spot check roll (for a grasp at understanding the runes?):12[gm]DM NOTE: For future reference, you simply need to indicate that you are searching; the DM rolls Search attempts, because you aren't supposed to know whether or not you've succeeded.
