Chapter 11: Anxiously Contemplating the Hobgoblins!

[GreyWolfVT]

Mort "Or if it opens the other way we could use a staff or a pole."

[Pulpatoon]

Idonea: "Think these goods were taken with the merchants? Are there any identifying brands or traders marks on any of the containers?"

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Idonea's Visual Inspection of the door shows nothing out of the ordinary. From this side it appears to have no lock, just a handle & obviously opens inward.

Uhmmm, see above^


I'm going to go ahead & say, yes, there are ID Marks on some stuff, such as a big K.

[Nordbo]

Wolfram

ponders, "Hmm, K as in....K-marties. Could it be that simple ?

to which

Lutha

comments "Ha! Your mind leads beyond the departed ! Clever boy"

while continuing to rummage through the stuff - did he find any interesting menswear ?

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

One crate has women's wear in it. Perhap's to Mr. Choe's liking...

[Pulpatoon]

Idonea glances over the goods and scoffs. "Theses Kmartes sold the cheapest quality goods possible. Cheap and flashy. Hardly worth getting kidnapped over."

[AlToMi]

Wexley looks to Borum and Mort, We can use my twine with sinkers. Borum, if you pull the door open, those of us that can strike at a distance can prepare for what's behind the door. If there is anything.
Wexley searches the door for anything unusual and wraps the twine around the handle.

thief search (20%) [1d100] = 18

Borum prepares to open the door.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Wexley finds nothing out of the ordinary about the door at all & gets the rope/twine around the handle.

[MonkeyWrench]

Victor peruses the goods, raising an eyebrow at Idonea, "Oh ho? And how did you acquire such a fine eye for quality goods hmm?" He gives her a sly grin.

Maya watches over everything and then walks over to Mort, nudging his shoulder and speaking low, "You confident in your search or should we try some round about way of getting the door open?"

[GreyWolfVT]

Wexley looks to Borum and Mort, We can use my twine with sinkers. Borum, if you pull the door open, those of us that can strike at a distance can prepare for what's behind the door. If there is anything.

Borum prepares to open the door.

Mort shrugs his shoulders "Might as well give it a shot."

[Nordbo]

Lutha

abides by Wexley's sly stratagem, and poises himself ready with sling against said door, growling "Let sleeping dogs come together!"

Wolfram

hisses "sssh, uncle!" and aligns himself with the faint northwesterly tunnel draft, along which he will unleash his bearer of aerodynamical annihilation; the throwing axe

[MonkeyWrench]

Maya hefts her shield in front of her, sword at the ready, "You're Nephew is right Lutha, These dogs won't be sleeping for long."

Victor pipes up, "I once saw a dog explode into a rainbow by some wizard, love that guy; Always knew the best jokes."

[AlToMi]

Wexley readies his bow looks to Victor with a raised eyebrow...The dog or wizard?

Borum waits until everyone is ready"There's not going to be anything behind this door now" and opens the door When everyone is ready

[Pulpatoon]

Idonea and Ewat use the piled goods as cover, aiming over it with their bows.

[PyroArrow]

Dungeon Master:

Borum pulls on the rope which caused the door handle to turn & the door creaks open.

He pulls the door open further, & all the others see is a pathway into darkness.

[AlToMi]

What can those that can see into the darkness see?

[MonkeyWrench]

Upon seeing the very anticlimactic door opening Victor responds to Wexley, "Funny thing, the wizard was the dog all along!"

[Nordbo]

Lutha

mutters "Hmm....old dogs run deep"

Wolfram

chimes in: "Whether our current standstill is due to some canine conspiracy or not, I this time must agree with my uncle. Run deep we should!"

Nordbo

will be AFK over Christmas holidays

[AlToMi]

Borum shakes his head. Well, better safe than sorry. and winds up the twine with sinker and hands it back to Wexley.

Wexley takes the twine from Borum... Getting paranoid now friend? and prepares to head into the deep with the team.

[MonkeyWrench]

Maya stands in the front as vanguard of the group.

Victor continues he's place of in the middle with torch at the ready.

trap finders still up front?
