Turn 24 - The banewarrens at last?

[Zed]

Bamoin leads the group to the west. However after around 50ft the passage opens into a larger cavern then stops. No amount of searching finds any means of continuing, so he leads you back to the T Cavern and takes you southwards...

The burrowed tunnel of newly carved earth suddenly ends, as it breaks into a very different-looking chamber. Rocks and dirt cover the smooth stone floor near the mouth of the tunnel. The area is about 30 feet wide and equally long. To the left, the chamber widens into an octagon-shaped area and plunges into a dark room to the right. From the octagon-shaped area, a narrow passage heads south. A steel door covered with runes and symbols
stands slightly ajar on the north wall. Iron supports reinforce
the stone walls and ceiling.

Actions?

 

[Cullhaven]

"What these pictures on dis door mean?"

 

[Kaerwek]

Belwar moves closer to the door and tries to decipher the runes and symbols, though trying to keep a safe distance if possible. (ooc: Spellcraft attempt if possible...)

"Let me see... Just wait a moment."

Also he checks the walls and supports, are there any markings that could indicate who's actually built this place?

Kaers

 

[Guy]

*is generally grumpy and a pain in the arse, but still heals people where necessary. And probably uses summon beastie from time to time an' all"

[ooc: afk lots cos of work atm, folks]

 

[Zed]

Belwar moves closer to the door and tries to decipher the runes and symbols, though trying to keep a safe distance if possible. (ooc: Spellcraft attempt if possible...)

"Let me see... Just wait a moment."

The door appears to once have been sealed with some odd silvery metal, the markings indicating a warding of some kind. Probably good to keep out evil. However both the seal and the wards have been broken....

 

[Raving]

Bow at the ready keeping a carefull eye open as always knok moves to a godd postion incase ( as if they wont, oh yea) someone opens the door.

 

[Kaerwek]

Belwar pokes the door to try to see how sturdily closed it really is. He tries to listen for anything, and if there's no indication of danger of any kind he'll try to open the door slightly ajar, and peek inside.

Kaers

(ooc: Poking my head into the wolves' den... heh )

 

[Gottaa]

Dee will follow along with Belwar, and help him with opening the door if he needs it. When the door is open enough he will put his staff over his shoulder and keep an eye out on the south corridor.

 

[Zed]

Beyond the door lies a short passage and a stark chamber with the appearance of a vault or perhaps a prison. The walls and floor are bare. An arch in the north wall gives
access to another chamber beyond.

The Passage itself is a mere 10ft in length before this chamber opens out.

 

[Vilic]

Larson drinks another glass of 3 times fermented gnoll sweet ale...

"Whash evfrey one waitin' for... *hic"

Gets behind the gnomes and is ready to follow.

 

[Entropy]

Arak examines the runes more thoroughly to see if he can decipher them. Is there any indication of whether something went IN or OUT? (ie, is it possible that something broke out of a shielded room, or does it look like someone broke the seals and entered it)

 

[Zed]

The way the wards work youd imagine it was designed to keep somethough from getting into the area you are currently. However it was recently (ish) broken. No ideas whom or what broke it nor whether something has since escaped.

 

[Zeus]

Jial looks around at the floor to see if he spot any tracks, absent mindedly stringing his bow and getting an arrow ready as he does so.

 

[Medivac]

Bamoin also looks for tracks , inside the door way , any sign of anything coming through or moving with in.

 

[Cullhaven]

Siggi looks doubtfully at the door an its strange sigils and then gripping her axe and sheild a little tighter, she raises her eyebrows to Thak.
"Our blades must sing again soon - I feel it in the air"

 

[Kaerwek]

"Seems like there's nothing here... I say that we go into the passage to the north (through the door) and see what's so well guarded from intrusion..."

Assuming no-one opposes the idea, he'll lead the way inside the chamber with his wolf in tow and Dee somewhat close by.

Kaers

 

[Gottaa]

Dee turns to the party and says,

"So this note that we found, do we have the ring as well, or we reading the note which some 'as dropped an' looking at a door which them an' there ring have opened ?"

He scratches the top of his head with the staff and falls in behind Belwar given the wolf a thoughtful pat on the head

 

[Zed]

AS Belwar makes to enter the room his companion growls and whines, refusing to pass through the doorway.

 

[Cullhaven]

"Dis is not so good! You want me and Thak to go in first? If dere is nashty things there we can hold dem off till you do the magics?"

 

[Gottaa]

"I'll follow you two in then, you can cover us Belwar"

Dee cracks his neck to one side and grips his staff ready for action
