OOC:
While Browyn (and perhaps the others) check the room, Lothar notes the footprints and readies his weapons before moving to check the door -- to listen at it and peek through it. He's still miffed that he wasn't able to swat some bats from the air, though, and isn't at his best...
OOC:
Well how about that! Success! Hopefully that's an appropriate use of the skill.

As Lothar checks the door he notices the the footprints and drag marks come through where the door was slightly open. he peeks his head through but with the limited light he cannot see to far. He can tell it goes a few meters in then there is a passage to the right and the left and it begins to open into a possible larger room to his north.

"There's passages beyond. Someone want to light a torch so I can keep my hands free?" Lothar says as the group prepared to explore further.

"I can do you one better," Felskrudd says and picks up a lantern and lights it. In his other hand he draws his knife.

"That works," Krisanna acknowledges with a crooked smile. She follows the trail of footprints and drag marks with her eyes. "You think some of the goblins got batted and were dragged out of here?" She continues to scan the room for a long moment, then adds, "But where did they come in? It doesn't seem likely they would have closed the... lid? hatch? whatever it is, above us after they dropped in. So there must be another entrance (and exit) somewhere."

"Right," Lothar says, limbering up briefly after shaking his head and shrugging his broad shoulders at Kris. "Hold that lantern high, Felsk. I'll go first, but keep that light close..."
OOC:
Delving! Shield at the ready! Any chance for a map?

Browyn followed Lothar once he announced and showed the passageway. "This blade that I found has a poison coating on it. We have to be careful when facing any enemies ahead. A scratch from these poisonous weapons will be dangerous."

You move through the doors and see a roundish room in front of you and a a set of halls leading each way.

The halls are dark and damp tunnel through packed earth that branches off in different directions.The air is chilly and filled with musty smells. Slithering roots, worms and centipedes are hanging like stalactites from the ceiling and makes the ground slippery.

The room in front of you is a small room with a floor of beaten earth. The Flickering light of a torch streams through a black iron portcullis in the far wall. Two mummified guards with rusted chainmail and long spears flank the barred gate.
May 30, 2024 5:48 am
"Creepy, but probably means were on the right track." She eyes the mummified guards warily and keeps her torch handy. "Anybody have any qualms about my lighting these guys up, just in case?"
May 30, 2024 7:02 am
Browyn looked around the room warily, "This doesn't seem to be visited often. Are the goblins really making a hideout here?" When Krisanna spoke about lighting the mummified guards, Browyn nodded, "I sure don't. Maybe we can use those spears then."
May 30, 2024 10:49 am
Felskrudd shakes his head. "No qualms. But if we have to fight burning undeads you are to blame."
May 31, 2024 2:24 am
Krisanna laughs. "That's fair. Um, cover me just in case there big guy." And with that she slowly approaches the mummified guard on the left, watching for any signs of movement. When she gets close enough, she reaches the tip of the torch out to where it can make contact with the remnants of clothing round the deceased's torso and tries to set them (and it) alight.
May 31, 2024 3:31 am
krisanna walks up to the mummified guard and lights him on fire and quickly the fire engulfs him and the armor is so old that it begins to crumble as the figure burns.
OOC:
This only took a couple rounds, do you plan on a longer search or continue exploring?
May 31, 2024 5:22 am
As the ancient warrior is consumed by fire, Lothar uses the flickering light to peer through the portcullis, to see what lies beyond... then he looks to see if there's some lever or other mechanism that can be used to operate the heavy grate.
OOC:
Also, what condition is it in? Old and rusty enough to kick down, or is it still pretty beefy? And finally, what direction do the track go in / come from?

The portcullis is completely rusted and will not move. You would have to break it down to get past it. I still seems pretty sturdy though.

In the room you can see is that it is a small room with an oak table in the middle and burning torches on the walls. A mummified woman in gilded chainmail sits at the far end of the table. An iron fitted oak door behind the mummy bears an ancient symbok in glittering silver.

The track lead both ways and they double back on each other. You notice blood on the tracks and some does not seem that old.

Browyn moved close to the portcullis and checked the grating. Finding it sturdy, he started to search around the walls to see if there was any mechanism to open the gate. He also looked through the gate to search for any mechanism to open the gate on the other side.

GM, should we be waiting for your call for rolls like this awareness one, or would you prefer we were proactive and rolled the bones in advance?

Harrigan i put a discussion on your question in rules.
Browyn searches but he does not see any mechanism to lift the gate from where he can see.
Jun 4, 2024 5:32 am
Setting his shield down and sheathing his sword, Lothar grabs onto the rusted iron bars and tries to muscle them open; barring that, he'll try to lift the portcullis and jam it into an upper position.

"Give me a hand," he says to whomever is near by...
OOC:
I'm rolling what, STR? Not seeing a skill that cries out to me for this. Should be with a Boon is someone steps forward to help?

Felskrudd puts down the lantern, sheates his knife and goes to help Lothar.
