Skull Mountain Redux

[greyarea]

The party heads south, away from the cave of guano.

A3 ends in a dead end, with nary a secret door to be found, and the party soon discovers that A1 & A2 lead to the B passage after all. Only one way to go, so the LL assumes you head there.



As the passage continues, it opens into a large chamber. The light Acquaire holds aloft displays the scene: a squarish cave is in an area of slate and shale. The flat gray and blue-gray stones seem to absorb light. There are several weapons scattered around the place-a spear, a battle axe, a bastard sword, and a pair of daggers. In the back corner there looks to be a glint, perhaps of the dragon gold that Dieter has sought.

You stand at the entrance, deciding what to do next. At least it isn't covered in guano.

Dieter taps his staff of the magi to bring more light onto the cave in hopes they might see more before proceeding.

Dandy moves forward and casts find traps, looking for anything amiss.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes says "Hold on one minute. Let me recon this area real quick." Grimes, using his ring, turns invisible and pauses a moment before entering the chamber, looking about for anything suspicious.

[greyarea]

Grimes moves into the center of the room, invisibly. Nothing seems amiss.

There is indeed something glinting in the northeast corner, although with the light source in the southeast it's difficult for the halfling to see more.

Dandy's find traps spell reveals nothing.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes will slowly make his way toward the glint in the NE corner.

[greyarea]

The glint is certainly from a gem on the floor next to a large pile of what appears to be coin of some sort. There is a box or chest or something else, and more what could be little rocks or more gems. Impossible to tell in this light -- treasure doesn't give off heat.

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk moves the end of his sword through the coins and hits the small treasure chest to see if it will open.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes will make his way to the weapons, checking to see if any appear to be magical or of exceptional craftsmanship. As he walks back he says "Looks to be some treasure and a chest or something."

[Spanningtree]

Dieter - Mage

Dieter will slowly make his way in also.
