Chapter 9

Looks like the lock Shybolt was fooling around with.

[Hywaywolf]

"Yes It does. So its probably that I push in each section of the grid in the numbered order three different times. Shall we go give it a try?"

[jstater]

I'll watch for snakes.

[Hywaywolf]

"we'll try it from the 'Throne Room'. I'll hold these coins to split up later. Which of us can use a long sword?" With that he picks up the coins, looks back to make sure Grumm has our snake bait prisoner and, if everyone follows, he heads back out into passage heading back toward the 'throne room' and the secret door. He'll keep a sharp eye out for the dwarf that got away as well as for any traps he might have left in our way.

(OOC: Normally, since we are so close, I would take all this armor and weapons up to our room in the tavern to later sell/give to the town for their militia, but I want to get a move on. So if Chris will let us do that and come right back down in one post I would like to do that. If it will be a drawn out process I am just as happy to just go to the 'throne room' and leave these bodies lying here)

[Solomoriah]

If you want to run upstairs to unload the loot, then move on, I'd be amenable to that.

"we'll try it from the 'Throne Room'. I'll hold these coins to split up later --

"I don't think we'll count any better later than we will right now," Timorel cuts in, separating the coins into four piles and slipping his into a pouch.

"I'd still rather study up a bit, but if everyone wants to move now, let's run the loot up and get on with it."

[Solomoriah]

Timorel: What about that odd electrum piece? Devil's in the details...

[Sir Bedivere]

The 18 unspecified coins are also an issue (or 2 of them are, anyway). What kind of coin are they?

Ack. Gold. Missed a word.

[Hywaywolf]

We run the armor and weapons up to the inn and then go to the 'throne room' with the secret door watching out for an attack or traps set by the dwarf or any other being down here who wants to kill us. If nothing happens then I will use the lock key by pushing each piece of the mechanism in the order of the numbers on the key. After the first set I will listen to hear what I can hear. If neccesary i will try to turn the mechanism or whatever else it looks like needs to be done, then go to the next set of numbers repeat then the last set and hope the door opens.
