Lets move then!
"I'd hate to miss something important. We should be thorough." Redona responds to Rikar, ready to follow the group.

Sezira:
Going back to the chamber where the prisoners were kept, you find a small, unlocked chest buried under some rubble and it has 225 gold pieces in it.
All the goblin weapons and armor are too small, as well as extremely poorly made. There are a few suits of orc sized studded leather that would be fit to where, if you can stand the smell, as well as their falchions.
Sezira, inspects the steel doors in the south wall and notes that the other key on the ring fits it.
Rikar admires the treasures they've found, now that they've taken some time to look around more carefully. He suggests "Why don't we take this stuff back outside and set up camp, and spend the daylight we've got left trying to figure out what we've got. I don't know much about gems, or potions for that matter, but I imagine between us we can figure out what these things might be worth, or what they do. Then we can come back in the morning and try out that door. What do you all think? And does anyone want this beautiful scale mail? It would be useful in a fight, but I don't want to be slowed down that much, so I'll pass on it."
I think Rikar has a good point lets set up camp go to bed and go on trough the next door in the morning!

"While I would like armor, I am concerned with it interfering in my spellcasting. The studded leather would prove less onerous, but the scale would provide better protection. If we're okay with some of my spells failing, I am more than willing to wear either. I will definitely take one of those falchions, though. A stout blade will prove quite lethal."
Rikar looks at the two gems, but has no idea what they are worth. He dips a finger in the potion, but does not understand it's properties either.
You head thru the mines and down the ladder. The bodies, partially eaten now by rats are still there, however all the torches have gone out. Josef has been providing light in the form of dancing lights. You enter the last big room with the steel doors ahead.
Borris can see the puzzled Face when trying to determine what the potions are.Hey Rikar let me try! I'll compare it to the healing potion I got here!
This night Borris sits at the fire and sharpens his Klar with his whetstone. He is talking to his grand-father
I finally figured it out grandfather. There is no way to master the mighty Earthbreaker all we can do is guide it to its target! I finally understand! Now I must continue my Studies my father expects me to lead our house one day! I will sharp this Klar blade to remember you! Every night!
Misha smiles as the warrior and the hunter try to understand the value of the delicate objects. "Guys. Give me those. I'm the archeologist, remember?"
Misha also uses detect magic to see if any of the other items they find are magical as well, and will take time to identify them.
To the question of what to do next, Misha suggests, "Let's clean up what's useful, divvy it out, and camp somewhere it doesn't smell of dead orc."
Misha also uses detect magic to see if any of the other items they find are magical as well, and will take time to identify them.

"Yes, let's divvy up the useful bits. Like I said, I would like to take one of the falchions, and I'm thinking the scale mail. While it will interfere with my spellcasting somewhat, its protection is more than what my spells can provide me, and lasts as long as I wear it. Besides, I can learn how to cast while in armor better wearing it than not."
Unless the Scale male has magical properties I dont need it my breastplate is fine for now but when we find a piece of heavy armor I would like that!
Misha's senses tell her that the potion is one of invisibility, and that the gems are worth 50 gold pieces each.
Sezira doesn't see anything of use to her but helps Josef into his new armour.
Redona follows everyone outside with the loot, looking at it to see if she can see something the others miss. She especially eyes the masterwork armor, thinking it about how it looks more protective than what she currently has on.
Appraise check
She's pretty tired, however, so she doesn't notice much, even if there was more to be found.
Misha squints at the bottle. "Hmmm... illusion... ah... Rikar, come here and stick out your tongue. Yep, this is an invisibility potion. Shall we give this to one of our scouts, or someone else in case they need to accompany the scouts?"
She holds up the gems. "As for these, they'd get us about 50 gold with the right buyer, nothing unusual about them. Unless Redona or Josef might have use for them for spells, but I do not."
"Well, let's all gather this up and find a place to stay. Do we want to camp here in the caves or go back out to our spot outside? I'd be inclined to the latter, even if it takes longer both out and in. This here also looks safe enough, but we'd have to clear out the dead bodies first."
Rikar makes a displeased face after tasting the potion Misha offers him. "Hmmmph. Tastes like...something missing. Not sure how else to describe it. It's an invisibility potion you say? Sounds like it would be useful to Sezira in scouting, though I could use it for that also if she doesn't want it. I don't think I want much else here, but I'll follow Josef's example and pick up one of the falchions - always good to practice with a new weapon."
Hefting the blade, he says "Looks like it could cut deep if you hit with it right. And I say we go back to our camp outside. I don't really want to camp right on their doorstep, in case they have some reason to step out the door."
The found equipment is identified and distributed to those in need and want, and a nights rest is had by all.
When morning comes, you form up and head thru the mines and down the ladder. The bodies, partially eaten now by rats are still there, however all the torches have gone out. Josef has been providing light in the form of dancing lights. You enter the last big room with the steel doors ahead.
Borris listens to Josef Klar striped to his arm he takes takes out his hammer and alows it to rest on his sholder.
yes let's be prepared!
Misha quietly calls up to the scouts, "Can you hear anything at the door?"
Sezira creeps up to the door, "Give me a few minutes."
Sezira searches for traps at the door, but does not find any. She does confirm that the other key on the ring taken from the bugbear will fit the lock.
As she listens at the door she does hear noise of someone / something moving around beyond the door. From the echos the space on the other side of the locked steel doors is probably a fairly large area.
Comon open that door we are as ready as we are ever gooing to be!
"Do you hear anything?" Redona asks Sezira quietly, spear in hand, which she has cast her light spell on so that she can see in the darkened cave.
"Okay," Misha whispers to the others. "How about Rikar and Borris stand ready at the door, and Sezira opens it. IF whatever's on the other side is hostile, be ready to rush it. Just take care NOT to rush if it's a dwarf or something else."
Borris is showing his impatience now more obviouseComon open that door so I can move in already I want to use my hammer on some Evil creatures!
Borris moves as close to the door as he can ready to storm in!
Sezira uses the key and making sure everybody is ready, opens the door.
Heart racing breath holding borris looks trough the door expecting an army!

There is a large rectangular chamber with two arched rows before the east and west walls. The high walls look like they were covered with bas-reliefs at one time. There are three sets of double doors in the room, one to the left , one to the right , and one on the other side of the room which is next to spiral stair case that leads up to an arched balcony that overlooks the chamber from the east, south and west walls. Something is moving on the balcony, and the two orc guards notice you and yell!
Charge!!
Borris charges towards the nearest orc and attacks it with his Earthbreaker
Rikar moves into the room towards the orcs, his sword leading the way. He calls to Goma to attack, and they step up to the orc directly ahead of them and strike.
"here!" Redona casts Bless on the party, as long as they are in range, hoping the spell will help her allies finish off the orcs quickly.
Seeing the orcs engaged swiftly by her comrades, Misha moves in () trying to get a better view on the situation, including trying to identify whatever is moving on the balconies.
If she also has time, she casts flare at one if the orcs, if any are still standing. (Whatever are on the balconies are out of range.) Fort DC 12.
Borris screams as the litle arrow hits in his arm.Aaargh! I am moving on!! lets get up those stairs!!
Double move up to the stairs when Borris is up.
Redona moves to G12, (if I'm calculating where she can move right on the map) lifts her crossbow, and lets a bolt fly against the goblin that is in S10.
Crossbow
damage
The crossbow bolt bounces harmlessly off the ceiling, showing that she aimed entirely too high.
Rikar hurries to the stairs, with Goma close behind. He calls out to Borris, "They're on both sides, I'll go right at the top, you go left!
Misha moves up and points at the nearest goblin within 35 feet after she moves, and casts grease on its bow.
