Thorrpe pulls out his tools and examines the door for traps

Not trapped he announces as he opens the door
What happened when I opened the door?
Whoops! Totally missed that line. Nothing, the doors are locked.

That's a pretty good suggestion Shad. The pick w the long hook should do it.
Three columns support the domed ceiling of this chamber, and a fourth lies broken across the floor. A mosaic of gods and the afterlife decorates the walls, marred by centuries of graffiti. A pungent musk fills the air.
As soon as you enter, a giant snake rears up, spreads its hood, and attacks.

The snake wins initiative!
It slithers a bit forward and moves forward to bite at Thorrpe.
can I use my roll above
in case not
Thorrpe tumbles to AN 25 and once there whispers
Shad I need some more help
Thorrpe shadow seems to rise up and holds a shield at Thorrpes side.

Takara follows the weird blonde boy into the room and sees the snake rear its head before gouging Thorrpe with its fangs.
She conjures a coruscating burst and light and slams it into the snake.
Albus yells and delivers a massive blow with his sword, cutting deep into the snake's body and causing it to scream as blood flies everywhere.
The cobra falls and lies still.
As it lays there you realize its hood is decorated with a huge number of earrings.
Ow ow ow ow ow. I think I have a heal stick somewhere... Thorroe starts rummaging through his bag, weird considering it is a haversack...

He finally pulls out his wand and begins fiddling with it

It takes a while, but finally Thorrpe gets the wand to start flashing, and his shadow seems to rise up and bandage his wounds with shadowy bandages
OK I am ready to go!
He will run up tot he door check it for traps
percep for traps and disable as needed
It's definitely worth looting, there must be 1,500 gp worth of jewelry attached to that cobra!
If someone's willing to put that much jewelry on a pet they're going to be upset you killed it...
You enter a long, semicircular hallway that bends around a central chamber.
The short hallway you're in doesn't have immediate doors, but there might be some on either side.

Someone is going to be upset...they put a lot of treasure in their pet.
Thorrpe wanders down the hall to the left stealthing as he goes, [/ooc] he will stealth even while he is with the group[/ooc]
stealth
There's one set of doors to the right side of the hallway and a number of doors set against what should be the outerwall of the Cenotaph on the left. The hallway ends after the eight set of doors on the left.
Takara will check to see if any of the jewellery is magical as the group harvests it from the snake. "We should systematically check the doorways so we aren't caught unawares from behind." Takara states.
None of the jewelry appears magical.

stealth opening the door quietly
"Finally, a good score. I wish Rameth could have seen this snake!"
Yea, I think this one would even put a smile on the old man's face. Albus says following the others and keeping his detect magic running non stop.

"So Takara and Thorpe, ya both seemed able to handle yourself in that scrap with the snake. Does ya have any plans after we get outta here? Dwalindor asks while searching and kicking in each door as they make the circuit around the hallway.
He pauses and looks around.
"But that Shad, I didn't see him do nuthin."
Are you kidding, Shad gave me armor! He helped me open the door! he cocks his head to the side I know, I know, but he has to know!
After this? Profit!
When you enter the room you find a small cell similar to one in a monastery. The bed is made of stone but the only thing inside is a mummified body.
Thorrpe does a quick search
percep
Nothing here, right Shad?
He then practically runs out of the room to the next door across the hall
trap check
You got it! If it is not trapped he will open it quietly
stealth
The door is not trapped or locked and you can open the door easily.
Four columns support the ceiling of this large chamber, filled with stone tables and curtains of tattered velvet. Stone fonts carved with images of scarab beetles and whippoorwills stand between the columns to the east and west. Two sets of double doors exit the room to the south, and doors to the north sports relief carvings of Pharasma as both deliverer of life and harvester of the dead. Deep, chiseled gashes mar the goddess’s carved face.
A man flanked by two lions stands in the room. He looks at you surprised.
Who are you?! What are you doing here?
"I am Takara. We are here to investigate the recent undead uprising. Who are you?" the raven-haired woman states plainly.
Eeeeeek! Thorrpe squeaks and ducks back around the corner hiding
[ooc] if this goes into combat I'll roll another stealth
My name is Tarouk, I am here to further my understanding of the real nature of the world! The undead have no place here, you must leave since you came without invitation!
Invitation?! Mister you are the one tresspassing. The walled city is under the protection of the temple of pharasma, us, Albus flashes his pin. and off limits to civilians. You.
