Chapter 1: finding the Tomb

Throgin will climb up the rope first if possible

Still flying Tinkara try to hammer piton into the floor, but the floor appears to be unstable - it moves when hit strong and with a faint click four poisoned darts shoot out somewhere from the walls. Luckily most of the darts fail to find the target.
Pain of a dart hit is minor, but the poison ...
Tinkara would realize a moment later she were trying to hammer the piton into a pressure plate, triggering a well hidden trap.

Ouch! Stupid traps!

I move over to the area where the door was before I enlarged it, and see if there's a crack that would have been under the door. Unlikely to be a trap there, I think. Then assuming I find one, I'll pound that sucker in.

Tinkara safely secure the piton
Zean and Throgin climb up the rope provided by TinkaraIt takes not much time for Zean to spot Moss obscured the tiny holes in the walls 10 feet away from the doors - that's where darts could have came from. The floor covered with sand and dust that dropped after reducing the stone slab makes it harder to see if any more pressure plates is in the area, but the one pressed already is well visible

"Uhh... Tinks... you ok there? Little one? How do you feel? I'm afraid they could be poisoned?" - Zean's usually weather-beaten and not revealing any motions face, this time did not manage to hide a slight expression of concern.

"Nasty contraption, isn't it? Everyone: be careful, there may be more plates like this." - with those words Zean started to look carefully at the tunnel stretching before them - especially its floor and if there could be more pressure plates. Then he crouches and carefully - not to make another step - looks for and investigates the darts that surly have to be laying around - especially those that didn't hit Tinkara. Are they relatively new? Or ancient? Someone had to load them in the trap at one point. Who could it be? And are the holes that arrows exit only on one side of a wall/tunnel or both?

"I wonder why those before us didn't triggered the trap?" - he shares a puzzling thought to his friend Throgin, that was probably still helping others with the climb. He was referring to the traces that they encountered in front of the first stone door.

Zean looks around for the roots - are there any heavy and thick ones - that could be cut off and used like heavy "broom", to press the plates?

While helping the others up Throgin stares at Zean and shrugs. Then gets back to work.

Zean, they were definitely poisoned. I got a dose, but it could have been much worse. My own stupid fault, not expecting more traps. Once everyone is up, maybe a short rest is in order? I'm sure I'd feel better afterwards.

Could be our predecessors didn't get this far. Or it could be that the fellow in the mask resets the traps.

Ixion didn't like the idea of being pulled up like cargo but he preferred that to getting skewered. Once up, he asked the skewered Tinkara, "Want I should close that wound, Tink? My skills in that area are limited but I can't let any of you die on me, and gods know what else is ahead of us."

Neither Zean nor Tinkara can see any hint of possible pressure plates but they find more moss obscured tiny holes along the walls. Perhaps cleaning up the sand and dust could help see irregularities in the floor's tile patterns?

Ixion, I'm not gonna refuse help. The dart didn't do much, but that damned poison burns like fire. If you've got something that will make that stop, I'd be grateful.

I fly over to him.

Zean see bigger roots in the middle of the tunnel but they are flexible. Longsword and javelins same of your your party member have seems a better choice.

"Throgin, I know you probably never get tired, but it don't feel good when my fellow sailor does all the work. Let me try with Ixion now." - with those words Zean starts to pull the rope hopefully tied to Ixion, remembering the time when he and Throgin started to serve on the ship for the first time and had prove their worth for the first time.
