[BigB]

When everyone has gathered and moved closer Cepheus suggests checking for traps. When all are ready he will move forward and check for traps. result=5 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1371875

Aiken sets his ear to the door and lets his hands wander the frame also looking if Cepheus missed anything.

listen and search (1d20+6=16, 1d20+8=23)

"Nice little tussle, just how I like them quick and decisive .. in our advantage" Aiken scratches the rash.

Whispering: I would be surprised if all this security was in place for an empty tower.

There is no lock or trap on the door. It is easily opened, although you've only pushed at it for a few moments.

You can clearly hear voices shouting at one another in goblin from directly behind the door. It seems as if a few goblins are arguing with one another about... something. Those who speak goblin realize it's an argument over rules in a card game.

Cepheus attempts to see the goblins through the opening in the door. If he can see the goblins he will target one that is within 10' of the most others and cast sleep from a scroll (use magic device check = 30 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1376004 spell failure check = 99 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1376011 )

Cepheus begins casting from the scroll. The goblins hear the chanting, rise up for a moment, and then instantly slump to the ground, fast asleep. One of them clutches his hand of eight cards to his chest.

Pendrake ensures he has all of his weapons and his shield, smiles at the dozing goblins and says, "come, we go!'

Cepheus grins like a child getting a new toy. There may be more within.

ooc: his first successful casting I contemplated warning everyone just in case but that would not have been in character for him.

Entering the main hallway, you see that there is a single room that opens up into a circular atrium - filled with grain. Many sleeping goblins are sprawled out on the wheat, sleeping soundly. You count maybe eight of them, though there may be more.

There is a spiral stair case that wraps around the circular walls, that seems to make it's way to an upstairs office.

The whole silo reeks of filth, offal, and blood. It appears the goblins have been here for at least a few days - some of them have taken to drawing horrid little pictographs on the walls, consisting of goblins tearing apart gray-scarved thieves. Many pictures involve crowds of goblins holding a white circular object over their heads triumphantly, while the human thieves fall to the ground, dead.

There is also a picture of the goblins giving the white object, as well as mounds of treasure, to some creatures that may or may not be goblins (only about ten times as large). It's hard to tell, since the drawings are crude at best.
