Return to the Catacombs

[Ithril]

As the potions are distributed, Conweena and Traesta tend the wounded, making sure the bandages are fresh and clean. After a small meal, (you see that there are about 3 days-worth of rations left, and another 2 days worth of extra rations stored there in the tower.) Harker and Igber plan for the first watch.
The moons rise slowly, casting odd shadows through the window, but the night is event-less. Conweena and Lannas take the middle watch, and as the moons set, they wake Traesta, Dorath, and Lannas for the last watch before morning.

Finally Ellu and Ebru arise, but the sky is heavy with cloud (the modern designation would be partially sunny). The weather could turn either way, but it will matter little as you explore the passages below.

Anyone wounded gains 1 hp for the nights' rest under the care of Traesta and Conweena

Traesta

Traesta will start the day healing Pebble and then Lannas.

Pebble - Cure Light Wounds :[1d6+3]=6+3=9
Lannas - Cure Light Wounds :[1d6+3]=2+3=5

Which if my math is right (and after the 1 HP from the night only the following wounds remain.
Conweena (16hp) has 3 points of damage.
Lannas (15hp) has 1 point of damage.
Traesta (16hp) has 2 points of damage.

Pebble is grateful and feels like a new man. He's ready to tackle the day!

"We should get moving early today so we have more time to explore below."

Do we need to get water again today?

[Ithril]

Do we need to get water again today?

No. You have a good supply

[Rex]

No. You have a good supply

Thanks

"We should get moving early today so we have more time to explore below."

Harker makes ready with some habitual maintenance cleaning his armor and honing his sword and polishing his flail removing any rust with steel cloth and oiling, "Aye, honored Shield Maid let us get to the task of finishing our mapping of this foul place so we can vanquish the remaining evils that haunt this accursed place and leave!"

Once Everyone is healed and ready to set out Harker will set out leading into the unexplored sections of the catacombs Hooded lantern secured at his belt and sword and shield in hand....

{OOC: I believe we were beginning to search the south passages? Would you post the map again?}

"How about we try the southern door in the statue room."

[Rex]

Conweena

"Works for me."

[sunphoenix]

Traesta

"How about we try the southern door in the statue room."

Harker smiles, "My thoughts Exactly!"

He leads the way...

[Crig]

Dorath receives the potion with gratitude.

Edit: In the early morning during his shift, Dorath quietly does his devotions, memorizing Sleep and Audible Glamor.

“I’m feeling refreshed and am anxious to delve further. Lead the way, Harker.”

[Ithril]

Traesta and Dorath finalize the night with their studies and devotionals, then as the rest of you begin to stir, they start the day with a meal warmed over a small fire they set in the hearth inset along the Erizt wall. With preparations done, and an early meal, you return to your exploration of the catacomb passages.
Deciding to go Sount from the tower through the statue room, and again Sount beyond that, you find a passage, typical of the catacombs. The walls are similarly strewn with webs and the toil of insects, and eventually it's 50 ft length ends in a door. Aside from the vile inclination of the passages that Harker has become accustomed to, he feels no further malevolence at the moment.

Conweena

Conweena will keep checking the ceiling as they go.

"Does the door have any markings Harker?"

[gurusql]

Traesta

Traesta will keep ready for something to happen here in the catacomb.

[sunphoenix]

Harker will inspect the door for anything out of the ordinary that might give some clue as to the purpose of the room beyond, but he will allow Igber a close examination of the door to listen for sounds from the other side or perhaps spot any malicious mechanisms upon the door ~ as per our standard 'door' procedures.

But then he will have Igber stand back while Harker opens the door to peer his Hooded Lantern into the room to see what is there before anyone {including himself} enters.

Indeed following Coweena's wise example he will Specifically ~ Shine his lantern at the ceilings and peer up inside the room above the door itself... looking for more giant vermin that may try to catch the party unawares on a room entry.

[Crig]

In addition to keeping an eye on the ceiling, Dorath also looks back behind them to keep watch in case anyone or anything comes from behind and traps them in the hallway.

[Ithril]

As Dorath remains vigilant for any threat above or behind, Igber squeezes between the other members at Harker's request to inspect the door. As Harker steps back, he tells Conweena that the door seems much like any other door you've found here.

Igber crouches at the door, inspecting it closely, then motions for the rest of you to be quiet as he listens and inspects it even more closely. Momentarily he stops, and requests the lantern, which he holds nearer the door checking the latch and the hinges closely by it's wavering light before finally shaking his head in the negative.

There is nothing unusual about this door, though he is sure it has been used recently. The mechanism is in need of service though, and the door will have to be forced open.

Will someone roll an 'Open Doors' check?

[Rex]

Conweena

Conweena tries to open the door.

Open Doors (9) [1d20]=2

[gurusql]

Traesta

Traesta will be ready in the second ranks supporting Conweena and Harker for whatever is behind the door.
