Here he was, basically being demanded of the same duties Khalia wanted from him previously. Excepting, of course, that the pirates are apparently more capable and more blatant about their mercenary attitudes. Unbelievable, Nelson thought as he ran his fingers across the stone of the chamber.Nelson stared at the door that the pirate compelled him to break through with the pickaxe, trying to discern its origin and nature. Ok, so not Xothkazzik...but who else would build here? Sahugin? I thought they were creatures of the open sea? Nelson considered, and then shuddered. Ouch. Of course if there's sahugin ruins here I'm not sure I want to be the first to open the door. He shuddered again. I'm not sure I want to open it anyways. This would have been a lot simpler if everyone had just done what I told them to do. He shook his head sadly.Nelson looked over his shoulder at the (presumably) locked door. On the other hand, he thought, going the other direction probably has the advantage of being the devil I don't know.Nelson turned back to the stone door barring his way forward. Well friend, I guess I'm going to find my way through you one way or another. He sighed. It can't be as bad a decision as getting out of bed this morning.OOC: Nelson's checking out the door, searching it (including reversing the spyglass to look for broken locking/opening mechanisms), looking for runes and marks, sifting through the rubble for clues, etc. All the while he's going to half-heartedly take a whack at the rock every so often on the general idea that if he were a pirate he'd be listening to make sure Nelson was working. He's going to look at the feasibility of causing a cave in next to the locked door, and who possibly might have made the locked door too (and if it and the other door are of the same manufacture). If, on the off chance he actually finds a broken lock mechanism for the stone door, he'll mend it on the premise that a broken lock is often stuck and a functional one could be picked by a pirate (some of which who are known for their ability to open stuck doors and disable magical traps, as well as their ability to cause great damage by stabbing people in the spleen unawares).[/sblock]</blockquote>
