Grimes and Dieter begin a search of the area. All bones are clean and some appear actually picked clean. There are some flexible metal boxes laying about, all open. Some have mould on the inside, others clean. It's not a far guess to surmise that they contained food at one time. Metal trays, many with impressions that appear to be manufactured lie on the ground under a few tables.
Moving north, another room is revealed. It is lit, as was the other, by glowing ceiling panels. Along one wall is a bench with a number of metal boxes resting on it; the front of each has a door of dark glass beside which are several square metal plates. On top of each box is a short, black cylinder. Inside each box are a number of metal shelves spaced close together. Along other walls are sections of fine metal mesh with rivets below. Next to these is a long, narrow door that opens to a small shelf-like compartment. Near the entrance is a dark glass plate with four rivets below it.

Castinus, not sure of what to make of all these gadgets, wanders back into the room with all the tables, then gives a listen at the northwest door.

Algrim heads to the NW door with the others.

Ulster shrugs and follows the others.
Re: Chapter 24 - The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, part 1
Most go to the northwest door and listen. No sound is heard from beyond.
Grimes tries various knobs and buttons. One of the surfaces becomes hot and a red circle appears, as if there were fire within. When he presses a rivet near the long, narrow door a small casket made of a metallic material appears in one of the shelves and the door slides open. The smell of cooked food fills the halfling's nostrils.

Arching an eyebrow hearing the ruckus near Grimes and sniffing the air: Careful there friend. From what we have seen so far I don't think food is something that you should entertain.

Grimes chuckles and says "Don't worry, Deets. I ain't eatin' nothin' from this place. Although I wish I understood all this stuff." Grimes examines the apparent food. Once he's satisfied that nothing is amiss, he'll join the others ready to move along.spanningtree wrote:Dieter - Mage

Once the hubbub dies down in the kitchen--with Grimes, this may take some time--Castinus will open attempt to open the door in the northwest corner.

Castinus opens the door as the scents of flavorful food waft about.
The door opens into what appears to be a supply or janitorial closet. There are buckets, broken sweeping and mopping tools, desiccated sponges, and bits of garbage here. There is also a door on the other side of the closet that opens at nearly the same time.
Stepping through the door are more veggie-pigmies. One screams something and they make a move to attack!

Stink for the odd ones, don't charge. Dieter fires of stinking cloud into their midst.
OCC: Spell deducted. BTW: Is Dieter's dog thing still around, or what?!?

Algrim stays put not wishing to charge into a stink cloud to fight. But he does stand on guard outside of the stink cloud area. "Let em come to us then eh?"

"I wonder if plant creatures can entangle each other," muses Ulster. "Let's find out."
Raising his hands, he calls for the vines and branches of the plant men to reach out and grasp those of the others, hopefully binding them all into one entangled mass.
Cast entangle.
