Chapter 11: Anxiously Contemplating the Hobgoblins!

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

So is that the side Yark was on?

[GTan_Baq]

Borum & Wexley:

Wexley peeks around the corner and looks north, then looks south.

Borum whispers, "Careful lad."

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

so is that the side Yark was on?

Indeed it is!

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

Pokes his head up near Wexley and peers around the corner looking in both directions.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

I assume Mort & Wexley are now at the T-Intersection, looking north & south & that at least Wexley has a torch?

You both notice the north/south passage go on for approximately 20 feet in either direction before coming to a wall.

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

Will light a torch.

[Dizlexus]

Mr. Choe:

Choe will join Mort and Wex. HE will hold the torch and stand by to lend his fledgling thief skills, if needed.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Ok, now that the things are well lit up, which way do we go? North or South?!?!

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

a map would be sweet but I submit to whatever the leader Borum decides no more pages of deciding.

[MonkeyWrench]

Maya:

South!!

[GTan_Baq]

Borum & Wexley:

Borum says, "Wexley scout up to the corner in the north passage and Mort do the same south. Lets see what's in either hall before we go blunderin' into something. After we see what's ahead we can decide from there."

Wexley nods then begins checking for traps in the north hall....
Floor [1d100] = 81, Right Wall [1d100] = 26, Left Wall [1d100] = 81, Ceiling [1d100] = 86

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

Does as Borum has asked. Going up the southern passage checking for traps.
Trap Check Floor[1d100] = 10 Trap Check Left Wall[1d100] = 68 Trap Check Right Wall[1d100] = 80 Secret passages[1d6] = 4

[Nordbo]

Lutha Cee:

Wincing at the ogre & orc blood stains still visible on the floor from the earlier fight, mutters: "The senses lead through the departed...." Spotting secret door without actively searching 1 in 6: [1d6] = 1

[Nordbo]

Wolfram:

Prepares his mind by maintaining calm awareness and by mentally placing himself into conflict beforehand through constant intense visualization. In short: holds a throwing axe ready

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Ok, as both the north & south passages are explored it's time to draw up a new map.

Basic details right now:

Wexley can tell that the north passage becomes what appears to be a guard room.

Mort notes the south passage turns east immediately after 10 feet.

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

Against all better judgement proceeds East for 10' if there is room to and checks for traps.
Trap Check Floor[1d100] = 56 Trap Check Left Wall[1d100] = 37 Trap Check Right Wall[1d100] = 87 Secret passages[1d6] = 1

Next post i will describe what Mort & Wexley see.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Mort:
Sees that a black wooden coffin lies on ground near the far eastern wall.

Mort had found no traps or secret doors up to the square he is currently show standing in, the last 10 feet unexplored.

Wexley:

There is a table with chairs in the right hand north corner & a few barrels & crates along the north wall.

There is a white chalk line drawn down the center of the room.

[GTan_Baq]

Borum & Wexley:

Wexley returns to the group and reports what he's seen.

Borum says, "Hmm, that room's empty of goblins. We'll come back to it in a bit. Lets head south and check in with Mort." With that, Borum heads south to join up with Mort.

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort:

Goes back to the others to report. "Borum I've located what appears to be a dead end, and a coffin."
