Vi picks up her torch and looks around as well.
You all perceive the small cocoon that was knocked loose during the fight. There are door to the NE (where you came in) and the SE. The floor is strewn with rubble and stone dust covers everything. Vi's torch provides illumination for this chamber, but the door to the SE is dark.
Monty searches the cocoon finding interest in how a giant spider wraps up its prey.
very interesting, it would be wonderful to see how this creature lived... well in a controlled environment that is
Enshrouded within the cocoon you find a dessicated dog skeleton. A fancy collar set with stones still reads ,"Kita".
well what do we have here. well the collar seems to havr lasted nicely.
Monty will take the dog collar.
Hagar, the spider is dead with a capital D. There doesn't seem to be anything of interest in the webs lining the ceiling. Johanna, are you leaving the room?
Monty casts detect magic to investigatw the collar and the rest of the room.
Johanna moves out as quietly as she can, looking for peril.
Johanna, like the other chamber, this one too is mostly choked with rubble. However in the eastern wall, you spy a doorway. The doorway leads to a stone spiral staircase that is unfortunately also blocked with fallen rubble. You notice nothing else in the chamber.
Odd the south is blocked and now the north is as well. can we remove enough ruble to get to the staircase.
well we can try to find another way to the stairs maybe a secret entrance or clear the rubble. Or it may just mean we need to climb the outside wall to the second floor
Monty taps his head for a second
that must be it we will climb to the second level
Monty smiles as if he had just won something. He loves to figure things out. Monty walks outside takes out his rope and grappling hook and attempts to get it to the second level.
Once secured Monty will allow the more nimble in his part to go first.
go on and get up there. I will follow. I am a little less coordinated than the rest of you so I will need help getti.g up.
Monty chucles to himself
Johanna steps up.
"I'll go... nimble? I'll follow. I'm not very good at climbing." she admits shamefaced.
Monty will climb as carefully and slowly as possible up the rope that he knotted to allow for easier climbing.
"I'll give it a go," Vi shoulders her crossbow and clambers up the rope after Monty.
Monty and Vi begin ascending the rope.
"I will go after you, Vi"
pretty smart ehhh I am good at thinking not good at hitting so much but play to you strengths I always say
Clambering up the flindered ruin of the tower you come to a crumbling landing. There are doors to the NW and SW. It's also possible to climb to the third floor.
Johanna moves quietly to the door to the Northwest.
Monty will move as quietly as possible keeping behind the scout but wanting to be within striking range if any problems surface.
You reach the door without incident.
Vi lights another torch.
Johanna checks for traps and such.
The door is of stout wooden construction and doesn't appear to be trapped.
Wait for the avengers to asse.... the rest of the party. When we are all ready, open the door and sneak inside. :)
yes let us sneak through
Judging from the shelves lining the walls, this darkened room might once have been a storeroom, though its contents have long since succumbed to the passage of time. A crack in the northern wall has apparently let in some rainwater, which has collected in a large puddle on the floor.
A bright green lizard, about 3 feet long sits in the middle of the room, regarding you quizzically. There is a faint smell of ozone.
Jo
Vi
Hagar
Monty
Lizard
Jo is stepping back five feet (free action).
She then fires an arrow at the large lizard.
for damage
The arrow thuds into the lizard's side and it yelps in pain. The smell of ozone increases.
Vi aims her crossbow and will fire if the lizard leaves the room.
Hagar hefts his double axe and closes with the lizard.
crit confirmed
With a roar, Hagar cuts the lizard in two.
"Goo!"
"Good hit!" Johanna says approvingly.
She moves past the lizard and continues exploring, stealthily.
Other than a door in the SW well, you don't discover anything.
Monty studies the lizard man and searches him.
Nice specimen never seen a nearly live one before
The lizard is 3 feet long and cut in two, other than the arrow in it's side it doesn't have any possessions. It's bright green with two hornlike protrusions on it's head and a yellow underbelly.
Sneak back to the other door, give that door a good long examination, then open it.
we may have been hasty in our execution of this poor creature he seem unarmed and un armoured.
Johanna, you detect no traps on this door.
Will use Knowledge(nature) to identify the lizard.
Vi, it doesn't look like any natural specimen you've ever heard of.
Johanna opens the door and looks inside.
