Turn 22 - Gnomes and Lairs

[Zed]

The gnome introduces himself and quickly he and Belwar begin a long conversation, soon you can hear the two small ones laughing and joking together. who ever this newcomer is seems harmless for the moment....


Bamoin waits for the fire to die down, then with Knok and Jial covering him he scoots into the chamber and looks around. The body is badly charred but he does spot a still warm bundle of coins 14gp and 81sp in total.

The chamber has no other exits so Bamoin returns and leads you down the eastern most passageway.

Quickly the passage opens into another chamber with a passageway running northwards some 30ft inside the room. Cautious due to everything thats happens he pauses and takes a careful look around. Sure enough the ground seems to be rigged to cause a cave in should noise or pressure be applied. Taking his time the thief disables the trap, clearing a way to the north passage. You head in that direction and come upon what can only be the Umberhulks lair. Now empty This cavern is large and full of loose rock. Some of the stones have been arranged to make a sort of bed for avery large creature. Others appear to have been shaped,but their purpose remains a mystery. Could it be somestrange art?

Actions ......

 

[Medivac]

Looking around Bamoin will carefully watch for hidden trip switches ect . on any of the items / furniture ...any exits ?

 

[Entropy]

Arak will investigate one of the strange structures; he'll remain aware for anything suspicious, like the artistic displays turning into some kind of rock monster

 

[Raving]

Knok keeps a carefull watch on whats going on

 

[Cullhaven]

Siggi (and perhaps Thak?) will stump around wondering where the firedrake went, and could there possibly BE an actual hoard hidden here somewhere.

 

[Entropy]

Arak growls at his brother to be careful

 

[Gottaa]

Dee turns to Belwar and smiles

"Looks like trouble, shout if you need me"

He then steps forward towards the front of the party (staying enough behind Bamon spotting he is at work). He redies his staff (which is now slightly singed after someone burnt the corpse it was buried in) over his right shoulder. Although it doesn't seem obvious what he's going to do with it.

 

[Kaerwek]

Belwar smiles at Dee and nods. He then looks at the stones and their shapes, and tries to discern how they've been shaped and possibly also by whom. Perhaps the Umberhulks?

He tries not to stray too far away from the group, and keeps his animal companion Fang nearby...
