Before Lightning Keep

With that safely packed away, Kurt will exit the room and go across the hall to the first door on it. Obviously, this place needs a good though search.

Grim also follows Kurt. Always scanning the stone work.

I follow, but as befits my watcher training, always looking to cover my companions and catch trouble the moment it appears.

The group returns down the Hall to the first door you passed. It is unlocked and opens to a 10 x 10 room with benches, hooks, and shelves lining the stone walls. There are no other doors or windows.

Observing Kurt uses is knowledge of the size and such of the parts and will search the room for them.

LOL. Kurt barely managed a 4.

Alex will also Investigate the room.

Kurt, you feel like you have throughly searched this room but can’t really remember what you actually saw. But definitely no lightning rods laying around.

Alexander, you can tell that this was once some sort of vestibule. There is not much in here besides the built in benches, hooks, and shelves. You do find a small packet of what seems to be dust. Your proficiency with the arcane lets you know it’s not just dust, there is some sort of magic here too. Add packet with 11 pinches of dust to your inventory.

Alex examines the dust to see if he can identify the substance.

Bored Kurt, "Okay. Not what we want here. Let us check the other door in the hall." He makes his way out to the hall and down the ways to the other door on it.

Alexander, with you're knowledge of Arcana you recall that there are several different types of dust out there that do different things, but without an identified spell you could not say for certain which this is.

Alex puts the dust away and continues on with Kurt. "We will have to search this place room by room."

Nods agreement to Alex. "Yep, I will scrutinize every inch of the stonework. Shall I enter that room and check it out?"

Rangrim, with your keen stone sense, you know that this keep though long abandoned is still in excellent condition. It was built by skilled and knowing hands.
The reward of it as promised by the elders, for clearing it out and giving shelter to the refugees, is great indeed.
