The Stone Tooth

[Lazeram]

"It looks like the orc occupants knew of this place then," Gerbimble remarks as he sees the runes on the walls.
"There has to be some reason they kept this passage hidden. Do any of you speak the orc tongue? If not, I have prepared a spell that lets me understand other languages."

[RedRajah]

"I know the language. Let's see if it's anything useful or if it's typical privvy scribble..." Urd kept hold of her bow as she looked over the etchings. Some mages were able to make curses and the like by the written word, so she at least wouldn't say them out loud at first if there was any danger to the others. Idly, she shot a look towards the ceiling as well.

[Chaz Hoosier]

It seems to be mostly curses on enemies of orcs like elves and dwarves. The ceiling looks like a normal ceiling.

Brother Vanleaf stays at the rear of the formation, especially when it's mentioned that the orcs might have been using this area as their toiletry facilities.

By the gods, Orcs are so filthy, the Elven minister quietly thinks to himself and then motions for Sugrin to withdraw as the holy man watches where he steps as he begins to back out of the piss alley!

Looking to the rear flank, Christo moves silently with his loaded long bow in hand while watching and listening for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual.

Daurant, Holy Warrior of Moradin

Having led the others down the narrow corridor, Daurant now looks about, grumbling under his beard. After a breath, he starts to study the walls more carefully.

"Blasphemers and defilers, the lot! I cana read their filth, but I know a thing or two about dwarf halls and they don't be worked like this ta dead end, lest there be a hole in the ground, which there ain't. Help me search, there be more to this hall than the tuskers filth!"

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.

They find another secret door at the end of the passage. It does not look locked or trapped.

Daurant grunts and nods slowly, motioning to Urd.

"Deep sister, another concealed door. Out kin's skill is hidden all around us! Best if you can check it fore I open this one too. With all the tusker's marks, I would expect the worst."

When another secret door is located, Brother Vanleaf remains at the rear of the formation and positions himself to provide potential cover fire for his colleagues as the open the hidden portal.

With his loaded long bow in hand, Christo silently watches and listens for the sight or sound of movement or anything unusual in the immediate area, ready to fire upon a moment's notice.

Sugrin moves a few paces ahead of Christo, trying to stay out of his line of fire while maintaining eyes on the lead group.

[RedRajah]

"Scribbles are just what passes for cunning wit for orcs," murmured Urd. "Mostly comparing each other's mothers to elf droppings."

A cursory glance to try and tell if there was any sounds coming from behind the door though. And she looked over to Sugrin so he could do his fancy trick to sense if even the most quiet of beings could be standing behind in wait anyways.

Action

Taking 20 on the search and listen checks.

 

[Chaz Hoosier]

The door is untrapped and unlocked. They don't hear anything through the door.

[Terran]

Brother Vanleaf moves quietly forward to the next corner so he can provide the front scouts with potential cover fire if necessary, keeping his eyes and ears focused on the immediate surroundings.

[Lazeram]

Gerbimble follows Vanlef and stays at a sensible distance from Daurant as the dwarf readies to open the door. The faintest glow surrounds his right hand. It is safe to assume he could lauch a bolt of eldritch energy at a moment's notice.

 

[Chaz Hoosier]

Gerbimble moves to the front of the group. He doesn't sense anyone without range of his earthsense, but he is sure he can hear someone speaking indistinctly through the door.

Sugrin would step close to the door to get a feel with his Earth Sense, but before getting settled, he's sure he can hear voices coming through from the other side.

Shhh! He puts his index finger to his lips as he waves over his shoulder for the others to keep it down, nevermind that the folks in back were almost completely silent as it was. He quirks a brow at Daurant and whispers, do you hear voices too?

Be wary, he says quietly while backing up next to Christo again.
