A Baronet's Daughter and a Sunless Citadel IC

[DragonFriend]

Tower Shell (Area 4)

The party continues to explore the room and the doors that lead out of it. The find the southern most door a bit stuck and is made out of stone. It was likely intended to be a hidden door at some point but the ages have made its outside visible but it looks like none of the inhabitants have made a successful effort to figure out how to open the door.

The south-western door opens easily enough though.

Old Approach (Area 6)

The south-western door opens into a much wider hallway heading to the south.

"The masonry walls of the 20-foot wide hall are in poor repair. The far end is especially bad, as it has completely collapsed, filling the southern section with rubble. The western wall is in much better shape than the other walls, and it holds a stone door with a rearing dragon carved in a relief upon it. The door contains a single keyhole, which is situated in the rearing's dragon's open mouth."

"Well, one can't say they were slouches when it comes to putting in the work for the right feel of the cult." Malus inspects the statue closer for anything that looks interesting or out of place but doesn't bother with the lock. He neither had the key nor was the master lockpick. And unfortunately, he doubted this statue would buck under his kicks like a door.

Kethar helps the others search the area for any clues and any ways to move forward. It appeared they only had the one door forward but how to get through it without a key. "Anyone know how to pick a lock, perhaps a skill learned in your misspent youth? Can not say the monastery came me many opportunities to learn that skill growing up" he gives Malus a grin before giving him a suggestion. "Perhaps you can stick your hand in the dragons mouth, it could just be hungry."

Booth places a palm on the masonry, his eyebrows furrowing as he pulls cobwebs from old memories.

'If I can take some time, I used to do a lot of spelunking for my profession before. Let me see if we can glean something around here.'

Tower Shell (Area 4)

Booth discovers the southern most stone door can probably be forced open with a bit of effort.

Old Approach (Area 6)

The dragon door is extremely sturdy and it is unlikely the party will be able to force their way past it, and there appears no other ways forward on this path.

"Well, there's few things dragons like more than gold, one of which is magic, although who knows if there's any magic left kicking within these doors... Or any ancient mechanisms to punish a thief. At the same time, who knows if the key to that door still remains in this ancient bastion..." The paladin casts his gaze towards the not-so-hidden door, offering it a testing press as he contemplates. "How would a dragon cult make a hidden door... Nif? Evnek? Luh? Zhen!" he inquires, testing a few words of draconic to see if the secret door responded at all.

Translations: Open? Reveal? Part? Move!

[DragonFriend]

Old Approach (Area 6)

There is no response, the carved dragon's open maw still beckons for a key.

Booth

Booth stands by the tower shell, rubbing around a small gap of the stone door.

'Anyone with some elbow grease to heave this open?'

"I can push but if there is a keyhole it should be a key somewhere. Should we search for other areas we can access first? I can teleport up again and lower the rope so we can search the second floor in its entirety if we don't find anything here. Kethar might say things tongue in cheek but with this sophisticated gate I wouldn't be surprised if it is trapped."

"There's probably no use forcing open that locked door no... But this hidden one? I think Booth's right in needing to use a bit of muscles for it." The paladin presses his hands against the door, giving it as best of a shove as he can with his shoulder while pressing his weight as hard as he can into where the gnome directed. "Don't suppose anyone brought a crowbar with them..."

Tower Shell (Area 4)

Kal and Malus manage to push the formerly hidden stone door upward, only to be met with the sting of a fascicle of rusted iron needles. Once the needles retract back into the wall, the party is met with a room, barely wide enough for a grown man to not touch the walls if he stretched both arms to the side, and it isn't much deeper than that.

"This pocket chamber is damp and cold. The skeletons of three long-dead archers slump against rubble-filled arrow slits along the east and south wall."

Reflex save on Kal and Malus, DC 16 or take 1 point of damage. No other effects.

Perhaps because of his divine blessings, or for the fact that he took up the center stage and thus had a better view, quickly saw the trap coming and ducked to the side... Leaving the poor monk to take the brunt of the small stings. "Ah, my apologies Malus... Curious, I wouldn't expect a secret door to be trapped, but considering it looks to have been a stronghold for some archers..." He turned his attention to the ruins of the deadly chamber, and the three archers that met their end within the room long ago, likely when the keep fell into the earth. "I'm starting to think these cultists roped in some kobolds for the construction, it certainly fits their design philosophy, if scaled up and redecorated for contemporary use. But lets see if there's anything of worth left in here to compensate the blood and sweat getting in here took."
