The Stone Tooth

[Lazeram]

Gerbimble lets the new dwarf lead the way.

[RedRajah]

Bow drawn and arrow nocked, Urd followed after Daurant a few steps behind. Sooner or later, their luck had to turn. An orc had to notice the sheer amount of missing fellows, right?

QUICK STATS:  AC=19+2, Touch=14, FF=17+2 / HP=19/19 / Init=2 / Saves: Fort=4, Reflex=5, Will = 6  _____________________________________________________________________________

With the Halflings well supplied and having left for home, Brother Vanleaf says a silent prayer for the pair and then the Evlen holy man follows the rest of the group down the unexplored passageways as they are led by the newcomer Dwarf, Daurant, who has been down these particular hallways recently as an escaped prisoner.

With his loaded long bow in hand, Christo quietly moves forward staying unusually close to his old friend Sugrin as the group moves forward through the poorly lit halls and chambers, all the while watching and listening for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual in the immediate area.

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Daurant spares his old cell only a passing glance, actively avoiding looking at it. His eyes are naturally drawn to the dying embers of a fire.

"Less any of ye fancy some other option, I say we check that there chamber, which seems ta be an eating one fer the tuskers, seeing as they need no light ta see by..."

Unless anyone objects, Daurant leads the way down to the chamber with the sleeping furs and red embers.

Appearance: 4'2", 182 lbs., Daurant has the pale skin tone of his Mountain Dwarf ancestors and a well groomed, waist length beard of silvery hue that would not shame him in any dwarf hall. His eyes are a dark grey reminiscent of the stone that makes up his kin's home. Strands of mithral and gold are braided into his beard, giving it a glittering sheen.

[Chaz Hoosier]

Christo spots a loose stone in the wall of the natural cavern.

Daurant follows the dim glow. Embers smolder in the center of this room, the fire having apparently been hastily put out with a couple buckets next to the fire pit. Battered pots and kettles are stacked all over; clearly this serves as a crude kitchen.

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Daurant grunts and grins.

"If nothin else, guess we can use this as a kitchen to rest if'n we need ta. Embers seem recently doused. Someone been here recently, keep yer eyes and ears sharp!"

Daurant sets to carefully searching the kitchen for anything of significance. If he finds nothing, he leaves to lead the party to other unexplored areas.

When Brother Vanleaf spies the loose stone in the wall of the natural cavern, the Elven holy man pauses and holds up his hand to stop the group so they can investigate the anomaly.

Silently pointing to the key location of the secret spot, Christo whispers, "Looks like a secret door or hidden compartment of some kind."

"Even though it's unlikely, I suppose we should check it for a trap before tampering with the stone or attempting to remove it," the Elven holy man adds in the same hushed tone with a sincere smile.

"On it..." Urd said in a quiet voice. She got out her tools, but paused to listen by the loose stone first before attempting to check for potential traps. If there had been orcs here recently, maybe behind the stone was the opening mechanism to some sort of bolt hole their foes could hide out in. Maybe, for once, the orcs had actually been observant about the fortress they were currently infesting.

 

Actions

Taking 20 on Listen and Search. If there's a trap found, let me know to roll.

 

[Lazeram]

Gerbimble stands back and lets Urd do her thing. He hadn't spotted the loose stone himself, but springing a trap is also a way to find it, he muses to himself as he waits.

[Chaz Hoosier]

It doesn't look trapped.

[Chaz Hoosier]

Finding nothing of value in the room, Daurant moves on. He comes to a split in the path. The southern path leads to a dead end. The northern path leads to a well filled with murky water.

[RedRajah]

Urd carefully activates/opens the stone...

[Chaz Hoosier]

Behind the stone Urd finds a metal box containing 180 GP and a flask of holy water.

When Urd uncovers the metal box full of gold and a flask of holy water from the hidden stone that Brother Vanleaf had detected, the Elven holy man smiles and says in a hushed voice, "Nice little haul my friend. Let's take the metal box too!"

Continuing to whisper, Christo says, "Urd, you are often up front when we explore. Why don't you carry the flask of holy water. It will give you options should we unexpectantly encounter undead and our weapons are not a viable option."

Once the gold is packed away for the party to divide later, the minister resumes his search of the area as the domain priest moves ahead to the position maintained by the newcomer, Daurant.

As the padre works his craft, Brother Vanleaf will also keep his eyes and ears focused on the surrounding environment watching and listening for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual.

Urd nodded her thanks to the priest. Earlier, she had found a potion of Hide From Undead in her pack that she vaguely remembered picking up on a holiday sale, so this could provide a good counterpart to that.

As she caught up to Daurant and the split in the path, she paused. The extinguished cooking fire from earlier was evidence that there were still orcs lurking about. So, she carefully scanned the ground in order to see if there was a direction they may have gone towards...
