Descent Under the Temple of Elemental Evil

[merias]

ooc: sounds good.

[J.L. Duncan]

Then again, I expect nothing less from those who would dwell in this place."

Pax: Have all those spells rattled your delicate brain? These clothes belonged to someone at some point-perhaps they’re still here!” He says in an intense whisper.
"This door to the south is double locked…" (GM gave me a INT roll)

OCC: Which could mean that this room was used as a holding cell, for those who were about to be sacrificed. I am playing in character (towards master Thurwin), as Pax himself, was once taken hostage at a young age. Besides I can’t play dwarf properly without throwing a few insults! (lol)

Pax relays: He thinks we should take the long hallway that extends from room 118# to the north and reopen the first door encountered (where Pax opened before) which on the east side) The treasure box discovered in #118 may be the valuables of the captives-so perhaps they were relieved as they were being walked to some sort of sacrifice room etc… Since the door to the south is double locked this sort-of might make sense since the captives would have to attempt moving past the guard or break a double locked door to get out…

GM Pax will once again examine the clothes… The idea being to ascertain whether the clothes were taken off voluntarily or forcefully (if forcefully perhaps there are sharp tears in the cloth) if possible-this might tell us in relative certainty whether the people of these clothes were captives… or fool hardy disciples

Narrative: The dwarf grumbles in undecidedness tugging on his beard… Finally moving to the passage to the north just shy of the east wall door waiting for the others…

Pax: “Ready-Lads?”

The clothes are torn. Very likely removed forcibly.

The door across from 118 has already been opened. It leads to a diagonal hallway.

[kwll]

Calthas shows his exasperation, but it is hard to tell from the outside if it is because of the locked door or the talkative dwarf. "Caydon! That might be another task for you if you wish to look at it." he calls, addressing his rogue companion.

Thurwin - Wizard

Thurwin glances at Pax with a puzzled look... "I was referring to the unclean state of the room, not the clothes. Of course the clothes are from someone else. I'm sure some unfortunates. Now let's carry on, shall we?"

OOC: Door or the other hallway, either is fine with me.

[greyarea]

Updated map in the maps and handouts section.

I think people need to be more precise in where they intend to go. What door? Which hallway?

[badams30]

OOC: How about the room to the SE of 115 on the map?

[J.L. Duncan]

OOC: Yeah-I’m confused as well. I’m not sure what door is double locked…

Might help if the doors are marked in some way, so that we can be certain what door we are going to-or meaning to go to… Especially doors that are a passage without a room number.

Also kind of agreeing the with elf-maybe I’m being a bit too chatty-I’m just going to step back a bit and let you guys take the lead…

Apologies for confusion caused-

Tavin - Monk

Holding the shield out to Morgan: I think this has special properties. You may find it useful. (+1 shield)

The diagonal hallway looks promising...

Calthas shows his exasperation, but it is hard to tell from the outside if it is because of the locked door or the talkative dwarf. "Caydon! That might be another task for you if you wish to look at it." he calls, addressing his rogue companion.

Caydon - Rogue
Caydon looks around at his companions. If the consensus is to go by the way of the double-locked door, he will check it for traps, then attempt to pick the locks.
