"Either of you makes ense of that? Valpip would probably be interested. I wonder if these skeletons were part of the scouring."

Skeeve makes a note about the Ascendant Flame.
"Do we want to go through that far opening? I am concerned that the skeletons might animate, considering that we've already run into one undead monstrosity already.
"Hmm. Should I try to zap one and see what happens?"

"Aye. Me too. I'm tempted to smash them with me axe before they can re-animate. So have at it."

Psybermagi says:
The torch flames make quick work of the webs and you as the skull and writing re better exposed you spot a few small forms, spiders, scurry away from the destruction of their homes. The script is old and Skeeve recognizes several as glyphs pertaining to water that are often etched into pottery as a form or simple ritualistic magic to enhance the clays properties to hold and keep water clean. Studying the writing you conclude there are religious connotations focusing on water and imply some form of life after death through the power of the water."Don't trouble yourself, friend. I'll see how soundly they slumber." He then tosses a heavy sling stone at one of the inert skeletons (unless someone would rather him not.)

Skeeve works with Khaguran to smash out the skeletons. From the doorway so we can always pull back to a more defensible position if needed.
First two rolls:

A few moment and you make short work of the skeletons that crumble on impact and stay down. Reassured you step into the room and find noting else as yo ulook around except that the hooks holding the chains were obviously not installed during construction but rather somehow driven into the stonewok.
Moving to the far archway you look into the next room and the flickering torchligh reveals a group of monstrous faces that have been carved into the north wall amid waves and swirls as if the beast were swimming. On the south wall someone has scrawled "I've forgotten my name". To the west is another sturdy wooden and metal bound door while the door to the north east is simple wooden planks and rotting on its hinges.

Skeeve notes the writing on the southern wall and the faces on the northern wall.
He then says, "So, do we want to check out these faces, too, to see if there is another secret door?"

Sure. Just keep your hands clear of the mouth. They're giving me an uneasy feeling.

You check the sculpted mural but can find moving sections or concealed triggers

Khaguran listens at the sturdy western door for a moment, then checks to see if it's locked.

The sounds of water are head from beyond the old and frail unlocked door to the east
OOC:
I posted details on the east door previously. The earlier post is updatedMay 6, 2023 7:29 pm
I think we should check the room behind the west door first since it's unlocked. Do you lads agree?

As you open the western door it creaks and portions of it break away causing you to notice other signs of recent use and breakage. The room it opens into (Room 9) contains a pool in the north east corner of the room with a small stream of water burbling up in the middle of it. Another carving in the stone can be seen on the wall behind the pool but large portions of it have been defaced. The southern wall is covered in wooden paneling that is warping and shows signs of water damage and rot and a matching door in the SE corner.

"Hm, not immediately."
Khaguran examines the carving more closely.

OOC:
Is the image decipherable at all, or is it too badly defaced to even make out the subject matter? Also, is this like a fountain constructed on purpose,or does it look like the spring has burst through this part of the dungeon floor?load next
