CH 9: To the Walls of Pax Tharkas

[Kafen]

"The Not Cousins, of course." Tas remarks with awe as the magic heals his wounds. "I think that I should look for the traps, next time."

[Breila]

"That would be a good idea" Goldmoon smiles at the kender.

[Jenara]

"Yes, we had." Laurana mutters, rubbing her arm softly, "Thank you Goldmoon, I will look closer next time.." Shaking her head she looks back behind them.

"Back the other way then." She asks.

[JadedDM]

After some healing, the party heads back down the hall, into the room with the columns. From there, they approach the other door--the blank one.

"Hopefully this one will take us where we want to go," Caramon comments.

==========

Goldmoon lays hands on Sturm, restoring 12 HP.
Goldmoon casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Sturm (1d10+1): 2 HP restored.
Goldmoon casts Cure Moderate Wounds on Tasslehoff (1d10+1): 7 HP restored.
Goldmoon casts Cure Light Wounds on Laurana (1d8): 8 HP restored.

(OOC: Breila, lay on hands restores twice your character's level in HP. So at level 6, it would heal 12 HP, not 16.

I've also pointed out before, that Cure Moderate Wounds heals 1d10+1 HP, not 1d12. So I rerolled the two CMWs for you.)

"Good idea Tas, please do take a look before we approach." Riverwind stands back about 15 paces.

[Kafen]

(( DN 25%, FT 45%, DM can roll if he wants...please. Castle is auto fail for me. )) Listening, Tas moves up and searches for traps as he makes a quick inspection of the area around the door and searches the door itself.

[JadedDM]

Tasslehoff searches the area near the door and the door itself for traps, and keeps an ear out for any noise. He finds nothing and hears nothing.

===========

Tasslehoff spends (1d10): 5 rounds searching for traps (1d100): (Secret roll, result hidden)
Tasslehoff spends 1 round detecting noise (1d100): (Secret roll, result hidden)

[Kafen]

"I don't see anything." Tas says cheerfully. He pauses and adds. "There could be a really clever trap, though. Should I open it?"

[Jerrard]

"Thank you once again Goldmoon, and thank Mishikal." He waits by the door, cursing his own stupidity. "We appear to have no other choice, shall we enter?"

[Jenara]

"If you dont hear anything, that is a start Tas." Laurana moves carefully near the door, checking the floor before pushing it open.

[JadedDM]

Pushing the door open reveals...a sixty foot hallway that just abruptly ends with a wall.

"What? That's it! That can't be it," Eben says. "Cripes, who designed this thing?"

[Jenara]

Laurana carefully searches the walls, looking for something, 1d6=4.

[JadedDM]

Laurana's hunch pays off. She notices a slight difference in air flow, and pushes on the wall. A secret door swings open, revealing more corridor to the west that turns sharply to the south after forty feet or so.

"Hey, nice job," Caramon comments.

[Nuke]

"Good job Laurana, I'd almost think you had been here before." The ranger takes a look for any tracks, hoping for none.

[JadedDM]

Like the previous room, the hall is completely covered in dust and there are no footprints at all; not even from rats or other vermin.
