Oggdrab can't hold a nervous laugh. "Welcom, Ern. It seems this guy, Antero, is very lucky, having so many people ready to help him at once when he needs it! What would be your specialty?"

Oggdrab slowly moves towards the stairs, his torch still up and his weapon ready.

I also have the EPT rules, but only read the background information. I wouldn't mind using another, more modern ruleset, especially Tirikelu since I admire Dave Morris' work in general (plus it's free). I am also a big fan of Runequest, running a campaign of R:AiG IRL myself. But what does it have t...

I might be interested. What ruleset are you planning to use?

Welcome!

Oggdrab helps Snorldrab with the doors, holding the torch near her and giving a hand if required.

I will be out of town for the next 3 days. Expect me to post back this weekend at the latest.

Oggdrab casts a bovine look at Antero, then grunts: "Well, I guess you are right...". Then he brings out one of his torches and, given the permission, he uses Antero's lantern to light it up. Then he uses it to light the tunnels, and goes down the ladder when his turn comes.

Oggdrab looks at Antero. "Maybe I can take this lantern to explore below. How long will it last approximately?" he asks. Whether or not he gets it, he follows the others downstairs.

Oggdrab nods at Quintin and, provided Snorldrab gives him the go, he takes the handle with both hands and opens the trap door.

I had to look the word up in the dictionary...

Oggdrab grunts, then takes another tool and helps Quintin make a bigger hole with it.

Oggdrab enters cautiously and progresses slowly near the sagging wall. Without touching anything yet he asks: "Did you hear something coming from there? Are there holes through which we can peer into what is behind?"

"About right." adds Oggdrab with a big smile.

Oggdrab looks slightly disappointed at the answer from the old lady, and the helplessness of his half-orc companion to open the door, when he sees a group coming. His face lightens up a little: "Is anyone of you the one named Antero?" he asks, hopeful.

OOC: Who is the female half-orc?

Snorldrab tries to find the right building and then goes up and knocks.

Meanwhile, Oggdrab asks around to confirm that Snorldrab is knocking at the right door.

Oggdrab nods and follows along, curious to see what is obviously attracting so much attention in the neighborhood.

"A stone trapdoor you say?" ponders Oggdrab. "Fair enough, where can we find Antero?"

Oggdrab is in a bit of a predicament, having been kicked out of his wizard master's house because of his blatant inability to cast any spell of any magnitude. He has e few coins left, but no stable place to stay and no assured income. Hearing about a potential opportunity, he rises from his seat and...
