Chapter 1 - Red Larch

Farther to the west, a stone stair climbs the north wall, ending near the ceiling. A stone slab like a counter juts from the wall across the room from the base of the stairs. It holds saws, knives, and other tools. Four skeletons stand beyond this tool bench, guarding a wide passage that exits the to the west.


Stairs. The steps along the north wall lead up to a ledge overlooking this room. A peephole by this ledge looks into the western passage of area L4, and there is a lever here that controls the rockfall trap in that room.

Tools. The stone counter serves as a tool bench. The tools here include saws, knives, awls, embalming tools, and metal bowls. Among them is a jug of grain alcohol and a cask of fresh water. Everything is very clean.

Alyx searches the area, but presumably not leaving the south portion of the cavern that you're in. He finds many interesting necromantic tools (see Tools above) and reagents, but no spell book, nor anything of notable value.

Are the bulk of you then going to take a short rest (a couple of you have used this already today), or a long rest, or a short rest followed by a long rest?
