"Be right there," Saxon says, and calls Mzarem in to help in searching the room.

While Killian searches for a secret door, Saxon manages to find some tracks, and follow them to the eastern wall, where indeed he finds a secret door. Once through the door and into the hall beyond, you niether see nor hear or find any tracks of the pesky little thing.


Actions?

"Let's check out the next door along, seeing as we won't be able to locate the goblin any time soon," Saxon says.

"Why don't we check out the door on the left of the wallback at the 'T' in the halls?" <4h> Az says.

Killian is confused how the goblin could disappear, when he was seconds behind him.
He'll go back and poke around the barrels and such before going with the others to the Door Az mentioned.

Was thare anything the orc and gobbos had of interest on 'em?"

OOC: Todd - I looked multiple times, but I can't figure out where the other room came from on your map. I thought we busted thru the door on the upper-left ("the kitchen"), then the goblin fled into the bottom-left room, and that's where we found the secret door? I didn't realize there were 2 rooms involved in Killian's follow-the-goblin?

"It seems as though this place is like to be infested, and we will be clearing it all out eventually. It would be good to locate that one in case he's going for reinforcements, but if we cannot, we may as well continue as we were." Kiralin, sword drawn, will follow the others' leads.

Poking aound the dead things (orcs and gobblins) don't reveal anything of worth on them, but by doing so, you manage to glance at chest stored in the corner hidden under one of the tabels in the room. It is a sturdy chest with a sturdy lock, and it is. Locked.

Check out the new map.

The party went from hallway to dining room (7) to Kitchen (6) to pantry (4) where the secret door is. I put a rundown of the progress on the site.

OOC: That is one great page, Todd. I like how you've added to it over time, and made it more useable. Maybe you could plop the pics you made of at least the couple party members right alongside the stat block? I like how you're keeping track of the HP's and spells used with different colors in the statblocks.

Killian looks at the lock, and asks "Does anyone have a way ta get past this lock better than my chain does?

Or maybe someone's seen a key around 'ere?
Maybe the orc's gots one on 'im?"

Killian will look on the orc to try and find the key to the chest.

OOC: I'm sure a mace, or someone else's weapon would be better to try and break thru a lock if it came to that

Kiralin shrugs. "I don't have any way other than my dagger. Can we tell if it's trapped? I don't want to be sticking anything in there without knowing about any surprises." Kiralin will look around for any other place (not the orc) to find a key.

[OOC: I agree about the page. Your maps are awesome, too.]

OOC: Does this look anything like Az might?
