Chapter 1: King's Festival - And so it begins...

[GreyWolfVT]

nothing radiates magic in the store room. None of the prior possessions you have acquired radiates magic either other than the potions.

Weston

"Sadly, nothing in here appears enchanted. I think it's time for us to continue on through the secret door"

[alver]

Urtesi grabs a coil of rope and shoves it into his backpack. "The secret door then."

[Rex]

Egon

"The secret door it is then."

[GreyWolfVT]

Through the Rabbit Hole: Err um the Secret Door!

Haribal decides to stay behind not wishing to encounter much more danger he decides to barricade himself in the ferret trainer orcs room until the group comes back through with the priest. Nobody really debates it too much. Moving on through the secret door you find a hallway on the other side of the secret door. You all head down the hallway and see it turns east. As you move to the bend of the passage, an orc walks straight around it and almost walks right into you! You see with horror that dripping blood coats the sword he carries, and fresh spatters of crimson cover his clothes!

Actions?

[Rex]

Egon

Egon leaps forward and attacks with his ax.

Battle Ax [1d20+2] = 15+2 = 17 to hit [1d8+3] = 8+3 = 11 damage

[tarlyn]

Delsenora

"Duck!," she yells out as she lets her arrow fly!

[1d20] = 15 Short Bow attack on Orc

[1d6] = 2 Damage from Arrow

[alver]

Urtesi

"Wha...?" cries the elf, trying to duck out of the way of the arrow. Being third in the marching order, he cannot reach the orc with a melee attack. Will edit in a melee attack, if there's enough room.

[Captain Kinkajou]

Elanriel

Having returned to her position as rearguard behind Delsenora, Elanriel leaves the fighting to those further forward. Given her recent performance, she is confident that Egon and Xlore are far more capable of dealing with any opposition than she is. Certainly, she'll pitch in if things start going badly or others are in danger but until then she'll stay out of the way. So, she hangs back and keeps watch for anything coming up from behind.

[Dram]

Xlore reacts quickly sticking his sword in the Orcs chest.

L. Swordtohit[1d20+3] = 10+3 = 13, todam[1d8+2] = 3+2 = 5

[shaidar]

with his location in the marching order, there isn't much Weston can do to help

[GreyWolfVT]

Very well you guys have surprise on the orc.

Egon in the lead easily stops the orc "dead" in it's tracks with a swing of his axe, the things head is cleaved and it drops to the floor dead. The orc has a pouch, and he carries a silver dagger with a blue-green zircon gem setting. You see a room with the door open in the north wall. A grim trail of blood leads across the floor to the north wall in the room, where an orc’s body hangs limply, chained and manacled to the wall. The room is otherwise bare, save for a table on which rests a few cruelly barbed and snagged knives, and a pallet bunk with straw covering. The orc does not move.

Urtesi

We grab the silver dagger, definitely.

Seeing that the trail of blood leads to another orc, Urtesi loses interest in the room (13). He walks to the end of the hallway and peers around the corner.

[GreyWolfVT]

Urtesi

We grab the silver dagger, definitely.

Seeing that the trail of blood leads to another orc, Urtesi loses interest in the room (13). He walks to the end of the hallway and peers around the corner.

You see what was described above. A manacled dead orc to the wall a table on which rests a few cruelly barbed and snagged knives, and a pallet bunk with straw covering. Otherwise the room is bare.

[Dram]

Xlore follows Urtesi down the hall. When they get to the corner he we will stop Urtesi and carefully peers around the corner.

[Rex]

Egon

Egon will carefully search the room and the orc's pouch, then move back to the point position and see what is around the corner.

[GreyWolfVT]

Room 13 description:

You see what was described above. A manacled dead orc to the wall a table on which rests a few cruelly barbed and snagged knives, and a pallet bunk with straw covering. Otherwise the room is bare.

Peering around the bend in the hall way you see it ends in double doors about 30 feet away from the bend. Opening the pouch reveals the contents 12 gold pieces and nothing more.

Egon

Egon will listen at the doors. If he doesn't hear anything he will look for traps and finally if no traps open locks.

Detect noise 25%
Find/Remove Traps 25%
Open Locks 25%

[alver]

Urtesi follows Egon, but slowly enough not to interfere with his scouting activities at the doors. "Watch your step, everyone. If there was one pit there could be more."

[GreyWolfVT]

Egon

Egon will listen at the doors. If he doesn't hear anything he will look for traps and finally if no traps open locks.

Detect noise 25%
Find/Remove Traps 25%
Open Locks 25%

Rolls for Egon [1d100] = 85 [1d100] = 2 [1d100] = 82
Egon hears nothing, finds no trap to remove and has no luck trying to unlock the door but finds it was not locked to begin with.
