Examine the statue more closely and cast detect magic on it.

I wait for info from Daed, but I search around the other statue that has crumbled.

To Daed: this statue did not crumble because of natural reason. Some "force?" Caused it too happen.
The other statue is very old, but it does not appear to be magical in nature.
I say we proceed.
Sounds good to me.
Move between the statues and look into the monastery yard. Sense anything?
I have my bow at the ready and check the freshness of the tracks.

Looking into the monastery yard:
Tall grasses and chunks of stone debris have all but overtaken this small yard. Off to one side, a wooden stable has collapsed into a mound of rotting timbers and moldy straw. The outer wall on the east side has also collapsed, leaving a ragged hole. Three doors exit into this yard-a pair of double doors to the east, a single door to the north, and a lone door leading into the squat tower in the southeast corner.
Double doors?
Double doors?
I am with you Daed...lets go double doors. Take a look around.
Think we should head for the one double door.
I am with you Daed...lets go double doors. Take a look around.
To the double door we go...
You approach the double doors. Made of dark wood and embossed in iron with scenes of dwarves toiling at the forge and mines, the doors are impressive, made all the more so by the fact that after hundreds of years they are still in excellent condition.
DM. Is there any writing, I am fluent in Dwarven.
Group: I saw a shape of a well hidden in tall grass in the NW corner of the yard.

No writing, but you know from your study of Dwarven that the metal work on the door is from the hand of a master.
in we go
Daedeloth tries the door. It pulls open silently, again you marvel at the craft of the Dwarves that would allow such utility after all this time.
Beyond the double doors is a small dark hall. Littered with mounds of debris and years worth of dead leaves, it is clear that a narrow path winds inside.
In the shadows ahead you can see that the hall advances 15 feet with a hallway going left and right. Straight ahead you see another set of double doors. 10' ahead on the left and right walls are single doors. It is dark and musty with and acrid scent in the air.
I silently pay homage to the Dwarven craftwork and then look closely if something is awry. If everything is cool I go in with Daed.
DM: I cast "light" and look around. I indicate to Jalriel or Variel that I would like one of them to take the lead.

Where do you cast "light"?

In hushed voice Variel speaks: Friends, I will take the lead if friend Jalriel will be ready with his blade and bow; unless he would like to lead? Careful with your light friend Daedeloth it spoils my elfen vision and will alert anything inhabiting the place to our presence.
In a hushed voice....I need the light to see. Will you send us a signal when Daedeloth can use his divine power to aid us with light.
would cast the light spell on my weapon, if there is enough light to see without it, I can extinguish it

Just keep it as dimmed as possible until it's time for battle. Hopefully nothing knows we are here yet. Let's try and keep it that way. Which way should we go?
first door on the left?
Makes no difference to me. I would imagine we will have to search the entire compound to find enough mushrooms. I'll try the door?
I am ready, lets go
Azzakan ready as well, take MA extract.
Opening the door reveals a small 10'x10' room that still has some small moth-eaten rags hanging on pegs. A single soiled hat rests on a table in the middle.
Guys, there is a single mushroom in the SE corner, {I point towards it), do you see?
You have an eagel's eye friend Daedeloth! That is indeed an ironbloom.
I look closely and see the mushroom. I look to see if it is safe to enter.
Can you harvest the ironbloom Variel?

Certainly. Watch the hallway. Variel advances and harvests the mushroom, placing it in a small pouch before returning to the group And now?
DM: Do we think 1 ironbloom is enough?
If not, try the doorway across the hall, the first one on the right from when we came through the double doors. When we get there, I will use my exploration domain power on the door:
Door Sight (Su): You can lay your hand upon any surface and see what is on the other side, as if using clairvoyance. Using this power takes 1 minute, during which time you must be touching the surface you want to see through. You can keep looking for as long as 10 minutes with each use of this power, but must touch the surface and take no other action the entire time. The surface cannot be thicker than 6 inches plus 1 inch per cleric level you possess. You can use this power a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

You remember from a lot of posts ago that you will need to harvest at least 7 mushrooms to cure all of the sick in the town.
DM: LOL, I just remember my domain powers, the other one is really cool too!
To guys: a chair is propped against the door blocking entry. In the center of the room is the mummified corpse of a dwarf seemingly dressed in blacksmith leathers and garb. In one hand are shards of glass; the other holds a scrap of paper.
Door sight...awesome!!!!!
I want to go inside.
me too, we need to see what's on that scrap of paper
I have Jalriel or team(Riel) with their strength break the door down.
Nothing of note....
Except we have reached 500 posts!!!!!
I also smile every time I see my awesome avatar.
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE....
