The New Remnant

"Seems to a lot of doors to rooms here. I don't expect any troubles lets search them all. I will take the ones dead ahead." He moves to that door to open and see what is beyond.

You will need to do something about light, as you aren't going to get any real light into the rooms to your left. And even the room directly ahead won't have good light in it.

Elyse cast a spell calling forth a dozen floating candles and spreads out them along the corridors. Not a bright light but enough so you don't trip over a table or something.

Stee will pull out his Autums Glory and attach it to the top of his boot as he did in the underdark for light.

Being that Cords wants to explore further. He owns a hooded lantern and can be considered using it.

Oliver takes out three round flasks of shiny lichen and hangs them around his belt pouch, so as to have his hands free.

The party spreads out a little to get a better look at the area.

Cord lights his lantern and moves to the door straight across from the door they entered and opens it. Inside, he can see a well-appointed living quarters. It has a bed, dresser, washbin, and chamberpot. There are also a couple small tables and a chair. None seem to have been touched in quite a while, but nothing has decayed, either.Elyse creates some small ephemeral candles and spreads them out around her. She says in the immediate open area for the moment to facilitate with the light. Taking a look at the open area, she can see that there is a painting hanging on the wall to the right of the door they entered, with a sofa and a pair of small tables under it. There is an opening to the left that leads to a corridor with a lot of doors, and in the far right, there is an opening between the far wall and the wall with the painting on it. She can see that there is another open area past the latter opening, but can't see into it yet.

Stee uses his Autums Glory to get additional light and moves towards the corridor on the left. As he enters the corridor, he can see there is an opening to his (now) right, but there are several doors down both sides of the corridor he is standing at the entrance of. There are three doors on his left, an opening (presumably to the second door that was like the one they used into this area), and another three doors after that. On his right, after the opening, he sees another four doors. Oliver ventures towards the opening to the far right to get a better look. Since he doesn't have a light source of his own at the moment, his vision. He sees an irregularly shaped open area. The wall that was on their right turns to make a square-ish room and he can see a door on the second wall. He sees another big double-door into the overall area from the east, and he thinks he sees a set of three doors on the far side of the new open area.Blornvid keeps vigilant, trying to keep his eyes and ears open to danger while his friends take a look around.

Cords moves in and check out the dresser as it looks to be the only stuff could be store at.

Stee will move down the corridor opening each door and getting a quick glance in the rooms to make a report to the others. He has shouldered his bow and has his sword out. Just in case any boogey men jump out at him.

This is a tiny map of this floor of the temple as you see it now. Elyse and Blornvid are at the red X. Cords is in the isolated room directly north of the X. Stee is going down the corridor to the west of the X. Oliver is checking out the area to the northeast of the X The map shows what you assume the exterior walkway (with the stairs) looks like, and what you have seen of the inner area. Again, the main blocks are 30x30 feet square.

Cord checks the dresser, but all you find are some very nice, but otherwise non-descript clothes. They are in surprisingly good shape. They might even have some value due to their condition, age, material, and worksmanship. They look very comfortable and, while not actually underwear, look to have been worn underneath any ceremonial robes. (Which, BTW, you do not see any of.) However, as you look around, you do see a small booklet on one of the small tables by the chair.

Stee first checks the three doors you immediately see on the southern side of the corridor. Each of them opens up into rooms that were obvious residences. They each have a bed, wash table, chest, chamber pot, and chair. It is a fairly tight fit to get all of that in there. The rooms do look comfortable, however, despite being somewhat cramped. You move on to the next group of four and the first two reveal rooms that are basically the same as the first three.

Oliver is checking out the open area and can see a door to the northwest, a corridor heading north with some small doors on the eastern side, and you can see the door to what is a comparatively larger room in the southeastern corner of the inner area. You contemplates opening the door on the southeastern room.

However, before Oliver can open the door, Stee can get to the next door, or Cord can pick up the booklet, you all hear a sudden sound. Cord can't tell the direction because he is in an enclosed room. Stee thinks it sounds like it is directly north. Oliver thinks it is northwest. Elyse and Blornvid don't have a good sense because of the angles to their position. You all freeze for a moment to make sure you actually heard something. Then, you hear something starting to move around. After a couple moments, you can't tell if it is just one thing making the sounds, or if it is more than one. But you definitely are hearing something.

Cords has snached up a book and is heading out to investigate the noise.

Stee will move back to the others."Wreak on guard!"

Elyse draws her short sword as quietly as she can...

Blornvid's axe is at the ready, listening and looking for the source of the sounds.

Aizashi tries to see if he can locate the source of the noise and tries to make sure to stay close to the others (or get back to them).

Oliver stays alert, tensing up his sling and looking around northwest, where he heard the sound. He does not dare to say anything.
