Just to get things moving. Busy day.
Door D,11
Door F,9,
Door M,17
Hallway K,17
.
There is that door we passed by when we first entered this room.
edit:
I think this is where the confusion lays, Andrea referenced room D11 and the door that is NW of that...which is F,9.[/ooc]
gerard works on the reinforced door at F, 9 and manages to open it. Pushing the door open reveals a dark room. Daniel steps forward leading the way inside using his keen eyesight. Azreal has his continual light spell shining form the read guard position.
This grandiose chamber is dominated by a massive slate table surrounded by leather-bound chairs. Black curtains cover the walls at intervals, and between them hang works of art in gilded frames. A chandelier of black iron dangles from the center of the ceiling, but its fat, black candles are currently unlit. An elegantly enameled tinder box sits in the center of the table.
"'Whatever was stopping teleportation might only apply to the upper levels-,"
[ooc]Perception E e F:
Daniel enters the room, not sure what the others are doing, but it's a grand meeting room. I need perception checks if you are going in.
"Poor Talbard couldn't scry in here, either. That wizard is having a field day with False Vision,"
It's an invitation Gerard cannot resist. He moves to light a candle, wondering what it may reveal.
Daniel gets an idea, Azreal, now that you know this place could you try to make a quick trip back to Tilneros manner and brief my brother? It would be nice to know we can at least have you teleport the Morrowfall to safey, should the worst happen.
The Hound nods, I will make the attempt, I will only be a minute. ..
Give Fiosa a hug for me.
As everyone gathers in the large room, Gerard proceeds to light one of the candles. You can see several curtained areas lining the walls. The massive table and chairs fills most of the room's center.
There are a total of seven paintings lining the walls.
------
Meanwhile Azreal teleports out of he building.
We should check out those curtained areas. Andrea moves to the north side of the room and starts examining the spots from F-8 and working to the west. She also examines the paintings.
Huh, I'm surprised that I haven't gotten utterly incompetent at appraising something considering I haven't sat behind the Westcrown Exchange's counter for so long. I wonder if Gerald even recognizes me anymore.
Andrea sighs. I really am starting to leave my past behind.
Andrea you quickly realize that the paintings are works do art by renowned artists...each valued at 2000 GP. Definitely something that your employer would appreciate.
As always, Euphemia detects magic and waits until she gets results, and then repeats the process in another part of the space. The constant effort has her perspiring by now.
Scour the room for doors and magic.... Gerard kisses the drops of perspiration off of Phem's forehead as he scratches under Frank's chin.
Andrea will check out the tinderbox.

(Baldwin)Not on this floor...
Daniel walks beside Gerard, ready to assist but making a point of keeping the rogue inside his Aura of Courage.
Thankfully the majority of opponents have focused on the Paladin, unlike the Wizard who (correctly) realised the rogue and witch were the greatest threats if left unmolested.
Should we get attacked again, protect yourselves and left me be the focus for enemy fire. I am protected by the heaviest armor and my goddesses blessings. I will hold while you destroy.
I can attempt to blind or silence any spellcasters. Perhaps a risky maneuver is to silence Daniel and have him stay close to the spell caster while striking with his polearm.
The curtains hide alcoves, perfect for posting unseen guards. Two of these serve as privies on the east side of the room.You find two secret doors one on the north wall (E6). The other on the west wall that leads back to the hall (far north east alcove)
The tinder box is worth 100 gp and contains a small amount of ash in addition. This ash radiates faint divination.
Euphemia gives Gerard a grateful, if absent smile and pauses her gaze on the ashes.
"Those radiate divination magicks. The ashes being the antecedent there, Frank, before you ask,"
You were very fortunate to light at least one candle within 3 rounds of being in the room, there was a deadly cone of cold trap 15d6.
They might be useful so I'll tuck them away. SO where to now? Through the north secret door, or down the east hall in the room we first entered Walcourt?
Andrea you figure the ashes are important spell component that'll be needed for something.
A component of a spell. What spell I do not know but if I were to guess, something dealing with the Council.
I suggest heading east, what do you say Gerard?
Map, making sure it's clear that there were secret doors revealed
One of the secret doors in the Northern alcove was a bite covered up on the last map.
Andrea runs her hand along the large table and looks at the chairs. What do you think Gerard, can you see yourself sitting at this table making decisions about what happens to Westcrown as leader of the Unseen hand? I wonder if you would be able to avoid the same fate as the Council of Thieves.
Any direction is fine with me, just clear the floor and move down.
Back to the room we entered Walcourt through and down the east hall.
*tromp tromp if everyone is okay with it*
Gerard examines the concealed door in the alcove. What do you think of this? Any ideas?
Andrea looks at the door Gerard is examining.
It's a secret door the placement is a bit unusual you believe since it could be the back of the building...unless, it leads into the leaning caretakers house you logically conclude.
Leading to the caretaker's hose? Let us leave this for later if we do bother with her, it is not one of our main goals.
Gerard you don't think secret door is trapped and it does not have a magical glow to it.
