What is the skull made out of? Stone or clay.

The skull is carved out of stone and looks to be a single large block. So far most of the walls, floors, and ceiling are rough stonework consisting of the natural rock these tunnels and runs were dug into our large blocks about 2x2x4 feet. The ceilings are vaulted domes and start curving in at about 6 feet up and the highest points being about 10 feet above the floor. There are signs of repair where sections look slightly newer, or at least different than, the rest of the work around these patches.

Once Skeeve finishes copying the writing down, Blornvid says, "Well, lads, we can either try to open this door or go back to the ghoul's room and see where that other door in the north wall leads. What say ye?"

Do we have a map that includes the skull room now? The only map I can see (two pages back) stops at the ghoul room.May 2, 2023 9:43 pm
OOC:
well I have a map. Were your characters making one? I've just dropped pictures occasionally to help you visualize it.If you want a character map then it will technically slow them down a bit as they measure things out. If you do this I can give access to the entire map as you move through it.

I've just been referring back to old maps and assuming my dwarf is familiar enough with navigating underground that he keeps a mental map, unless our GM tells me otherwise. ;) However, If you guys are more comfortable with sketching a map, that's fine by me.

Really, I was just asking for a snapshot of this particular room. We haven't seen that yet. I am not sure of the size and number of doors/exits from the skull room. Also, while it will take a little time to draw, measuring isn't really needed. All that is needed is a representation of which rooms connect to which other rooms.
And Skeeve is happy to map out whatever we need. It's not like he isn't already taking notes.

If you want ot see the map then it is available online on tableplop.comGo to Tableplop and create an account and sign in
Then click on this Invitation link to open my campaign and it will add it to your Tableplop account
After that is all donw you just need to go directly to the map
If anyone doe this then I will concider you to be periodically measureing the rooms and halways and drawing a map.
Either way I will continue uploading ocasional imaged of the parties location

Skeeve isn't doing detailed mapping. He is instead noting the rooms and linking them as appropriate. That said it will still slow us down some. May 3, 2023 8:12 pm
Skeeve will check the skull and see if it can move or if there is anything behind it. (Obviously it won't move if it is just a big carved rock on the stone floor. But, if there is some kind of mechanism or something that would allow it to move, that is what he is looking for.)
He won't spend much time on this, however.

Now clear of the cobwebs Skeeve examines the skull and soon finds there is a concealed door of some kind built into/behind the skull. After a bit the party thinks they have figured out how to open it.
OOC:
next time you do a specific search like that roll a test. I will usually apply focus to any tests out of combat May 3, 2023 10:49 pm

Right! Sorry about that!May 4, 2023 1:58 am

To be clear I will not move the story/scene without someone declaring action or intent. So far there have been questions and agreement. May 4, 2023 5:43 pm
Pushing up on one of the teeth you open the skulls mouth to form a small passage to another small room. The room is bare with a sturdy due to the south!(the other side of the door in room 17) and an open doorway to the east.

After looking around and noting the empty room, Blornvid says, "That seemed like a waste of a secret passage. Oh well, I'm sure that they had their reasons. He then leads the others through the passageway.

The door on the south wall is locked from this aside as well. Moving up you look into the next room to see multiple skeletons chained up on the south wall. On the north wall are scrawled the words
