Terran Posted September 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Christo busts out laughing at his diminutive colleage and says in a light voice, "I'm pretty sure they meant possibly resting in the area behind the secret door, not in the piss-way that leads to the hidden portal!"

RedRajah Posted September 21, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 21, 2023 "The good Brother has the right of it," said Urd. "Sooner or later, the orcs will realize their numbers are dwindling. I don't know if it's worth the risk leaving here to camp for the night. But they don't seem to have discovered this passage in all their time here -- and that might afford us some level of secrecy at least."

RedRajah Posted September 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 27, 2023 "I'm going to open the door. Be ready in case we need Gerbimble's friends to show up..." With the door found, Urd carefully looked for an opening mechanism, starting with poking the door frame with her bow. After all, it worked with the first secret entrance -- and dwarves weren't known for veering off the beaten path when it came to a working method.

Lazeram Posted September 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 28, 2023 Gerbimble stands ready in the hallway, some ten feet from Urd as the dwarf inspects the hidden door. "If the orcs were unaware of this, we should make an effort to conceal our tracks as best we can if we are to use this as a safe room," he says in a hushed voice.

Terran Posted September 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Brother Christo Vanleaf, Grey Elf Bard-Cleric QUICK STATS: AC=19, Touch=14, FF=17 / HP=19/19 / Init=2 / Saves: Fort=4, Reflex=5, Will = 6 ________________________________________________________________________ Brother Christo smiles and replies in a hushed whisper, "Let's crack it open and see what's on the other side. Knowing what lie beyond will help make our tactical decisions for us." "Who knows, it might open into a dead-end treasure room or just be a secret door on the wall of a commonly used, highly trafficked hallway." "Although, I'm hoping for the former," the Elven holy man adds with a good-natured smile as he raises his bow, which has a nasty looking razor-sharp arrow nocked and at the ready and nods affirmatively for the secret door to be broached and opened to reveal what, if anything, lay beyond the hidden portal.

Chaz Hoosier Posted October 1, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 1, 2023 The secret door is operated in the same way as the other one, by pressing two particular stones at the same time. It slides open to reveal a 5 foot wide staircase ascending steeply up for about 20 feet before terminating in a dead end.

RedRajah Posted October 4, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 4, 2023 Urd put her finger to her lips to the others, signalling them to stay quiet as she got to work examining the passage. Now was the time to be extra cautious and the last thing she wanted to was to tip off any enemies. If the orcs didn't know about one passage, they probably didn't know about the other end either.

RedRajah Posted October 9, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 9, 2023 Urd crept back down the stairs. "Locked door, but not trapped..." she whispered.
