2nd Chapter: Into the Darkness

[Solomoriah]

Careful to avoid the trapped flagstone, the party moved through the room. Faylen did not see anything that looked useful as a weight... the room was quite empty, other than a few slimy leaves scattered on the damp floor.

The corridor beyond extended just twenty feet to a door. It was obviously old, but appeared to still be quite solid.

[Clever_Munkey]

Faylen will motion for a halt, then check for traps and listen at the door.

[Solomoriah]

Faylen found no signs of a trap at the door. Examining the door further, she noticed that it seemed more recently made than she would have expected. The door did not appear to be locked, or indeed to have a lock at all.

Gingerly she put her ear to the door, and she listened carefully, but she heard nothing.

[Clever_Munkey]

I hear nothing on the other side. This could mean either no one is there, or the trap may have warned them and they are being quiet. Also the door has been made recently, which makes me suspect the latter.

[mTeasdale]

On which side does the door open ? Would we have to push it or pull it ?

[Longman]

Ranald, close to the rear, slips through the back row of the party and goes down to guard the southern corridor, at the E/W junction. He is hidden if possible, from the southern doorway. Crossbow in hand.

[Solomoriah]

On which side does the door open ? Would we have to push it or pull it ?

Push.

[mTeasdale]

If everybody agrees on opening that door...

Bothan will kick the door, keeping his pike in one of his hand. Is there anything there ?

[Longman]

Agreed. Hengist still in his normal place. Ranald still at the very rear guarding the entrance to the corridor.

[Clever_Munkey]

Faylen will move to the middle of the pack letting Rowan closer to the front with his spear and shield.
