Brother Meldred offers up his rope to us and a quick blessing to go with it. May you push the right button. Maybe the one with more dust on it?

OOC: zombie crocodiles...that is a great idea


The Thief looks over the buttons "I don't think its a pit, but I suspect one is a hidden staircase, the other might be some sort of trap.

(DM note: Hope everyone had a good weekend, but we need to move this game along. )

Did the thief suspect which button was which, or just speculating in general?

Speculating in general, since the Thief is a NPC, the PC decide which button to press...

Felgorian asks the thief to identify and/or disarm the suspected trap.

I assume that is what you are hinting at. ie the pcs have to ask the npc thief to do his thieving skill, as anything he does on his own would be DM metagaming???

Brother Meldred chimes in as well, Let's make sure we check those buttons carefully and any doors they open

Coenbeorht awaits the button proceedings with impatient interest.

The thief goes "Aha," and disarms the trap on the left button, then presses the right button. The top of the alter slides open and a staircase leading down is exposed.

"I think this is the way down."

(Yes, if you want the thief to do anything, he needs to be commanded. )

"Felgorian, you lead the way." Ceric commands. "I will follow next. The rest of you, fall in line." With that, Ceric readies his sword and raises his shield in front of him. "Someone in the middle, ready a torch in case it gets dark in a hurry."

Boaur, the Torch carrier lights his torch and gets in line,

The marching order is right now is


Row 1
Felgorian - PC Dwarf - Onlyme

Row two
Ceric Perrigan - PC Fighter - DMW71
Brother Meldred - PC Cleric - Brov

Row 3
Beya - PC mage - Max Vale
Boaur - NPC torch carrier

Row 4
Husker Wilkenburg - NPC theif
Coenbeorht Kneecapper - PC Halfing - Vargr1105

Brother Meldred follows the party down as they decsend into the stairwell

The party goes down the stairs, and soon needs a torch or lamp to proceed.

The 10 foot wide hallway goes 40 feet north (and angled down) , then opens up into a 50x50 foot room, with a large statue in the middle. The statue is of a human male in clerical robes. There is in the center of each wall (North South, East and West) 10 foot hallways. The stone is smooth and worked, and the ceiling is around 20 feet high.

You might want to get someone to be a maptaker, and if it posted I will correct any errors i see from the description.

your not sure, but you think it might be St. Analuska.

Felgorian will investigate the room, looking for pits, etc. He will also look to see if any of the hallways look more promising than the next, from inside the room only.

Brother Meldred will look in amazement at the room. After a few moments, he will go and inspect the statue more closely, seeing if it's been damaged in anyway or if there are any places to put offerigns.
