Once More Into the Temple

[Spanningtree]

Tavin - Monk

Tavin nods.

The party moves to the area indicated and Caydon (autopilot) listens at the door. Nada. No sound at all.
The door opens easily.



The former purpose of this room cannot be ascertained, but the four bunks in the south end obviously show that it recently housed troops of some sort. Pegs on the wall are many, and one holds a brown cape. A bench is near the door to the west. Two torches give light to the area.

A trapezoidal area through the archway to the north contains four narrow cots, four small wooden chests, and a small wall fountain which dribbles smelly water into its basin. A long table with two benches and a chair at head and foot complete the furnishings. Light comes from a lantern, held aloft above the table by a thin chain; two unlit torches are mounted on the walls. An open cupboard by the table holds various dishes and four jugs.

The hallway south gives no sound.

There is some mess here, as if there were men or other creatures stationed here that have since left.

Thurwin - Wizard

Thurwin chuckles at the chaos of the room. "I hope we played a part in the departure of the occupants of this room. I doubt anything is here, but let's check the chests and do a quick search, shall we?"

OOC: I think check the chests, do a quick search and then move on northward?

CALMERT: Cleric
The little Gnome nods in agreement at Thurwin, grabs the cape off the peg on the wall, and helps with the chests.

[greyarea]

The cloak smells like it was last worn by a wet dog.

Each chest contains nondescript items of clothing and one leather ceremonial harness with a large, bronze-hilted dagger (worth 15 gp with the harness). One chest also contains a scrap of parchment, inscribed with a message, in Common: "Remember to check AUGURY CHAMBER to see if Belstro was lying!"

[tumblingdice]

Morgan investigates the fountain. Does the water appear to be contaminated? Unholy? Defiled somehow?

[kwll]

Calthas raises an eyebrow when reading the parchment. "Have we met Belstro already?" he asks.

[greyarea]

Morgan finds the water to be smelly, like it's been stagnant for a while, but otherwise unremarkable. It does not appear Holy.

Effric, Druid

Calthas raises an eyebrow when reading the parchment. "Have we met Belstro already?" he asks.

"I do not recall the name," Effric says. "Shall we move on northward?"

[Spanningtree]

Tavin - Monk

Yea, north. Perhaps Belstro is there.
