Chapter 2:Taking the Offensive

[Blazeguard]

As you inch up to the western corridor and peek around the corner you see a door on the north side 40' down with the corridor extending past that and breaking into a 4-way intersection at the very edge of your vision.

[SerGavin]

Sanzaru looks for recent construction.

[Hywaywolf]

Pebbles slips past the open passage and heads north to the first door on the right where he will listen .

[jcm]

Mumford waits nervously.

[Blazeguard]

Sanzaru examines the corridor for signs of recent construction while Pebbles advances to the north door and listens intently for several minutes.

While Sanzaru doesn't find signs of recent construction, he can tell that there has been significantly more traffic on this level and more specifically down the western corridor.

Pebbles listens quietly for several minutes but doesn't hear anything beyond the closed door. Finding it unlocked and trap-free, he eases it open. The room is another 10' x 30' storeroom with more decaying and distressed furniture and supplies. None of the equipment is usable but a thorough search reveals 58cp, 163sp and 69gp.

Mumford glances down the corridor nervously while absently petting Bosco.

[Hywaywolf]

Pebbles moves up to the northern intersection and peeks both ways. If he doesn't see anything that requires immediate attention he will move back (south) and listen at the door in the west wall.

[asacolips]

Boldol will catch up with Pebbles stay on guard.

[SerGavin]

Sanzaru, keeping his weapon at hand, manoeuvres over behind pebbles staying on his Guard.

[Blazeguard]

Pebbles investigates to the end of the corridor but finds a dead end that only extends 10' to either side. The rock is rough hewn and unfinished here. This is obviously a fringe area of the 'temple'.

Moving back to the west door, Pebbles completes his normal routine but hears nothing and finds the door unlocked. Cracking the door reveals an empty room 10' x 30', similar to the one across the hall. It appears that whatever had been in here was cleared out in preparation for storage perhaps. There is nothing to indicate what may be eventually stored here though.

Boldol and Sanzaru keep watch up and down the corridor while Pebbles investigates.

[Hywaywolf]

pebbles will move into the room to search it for secret doors, especially the northeastern walls.
