Tarka speaks up. "Is door we come in, or doors through storeroom, if you going." she says, pointing to another door on the North wall.
Tarka nods. "Lots more rooms past storeroom." she says. "More rooms. More stuff."
Tarka shakes her head. "Kobolds move here from caves in hills not long ago. Not control other rooms. We go back there now he dead." she says.

Fedorean thinking that his companions should be a little more grateful for the fact that he just probably saved them for having to deal with that monster again shakes his head and thinks to himself, "next time ill let the next bastard live and when he comes back and stabs them in the back..ill sit back and laugh..ungrateful bunch of Humans..He then bends down and picks up both bottles that were left behind by the monster..not needing anything else he leaves it for others..noticing that Abasi..picked up the Katana. he says..
"Hey,Id like to take a look at that sword for a minute..after all it must be pretty special if we've gone through all this just to retrieve it..hand it here and let me look at it..if one of you all can use detect magic id be interested to see if its magical.."
Fedorean checks out the sword..
Fedorean examines the Katana.

Drogan finally stirs, rising to a sitting position. He blinks, still unable to see, but the ringing in his head doesn't allow him to comprehend what happened. His vision finally clears allowing him to see people arguing and examining items, but the bells continue to toll. A few seconds later his head clears and hears the broken speech of the kobolds. Drogan grabs his sword and shield, and gets to his feet. Drogan looks at Fedorean examining the Jade Katana.

Fedorean Looks at Halkale and Says..
"I know where we can find a huge frog monster to kill..and I don't know what else was back there..we may find more treasure..That is if the others feel like Killing some more bad guys.."
Fedorean laughs and thinks to himself that some members of his group need to relax a little bit and stop being so uptight..after all whats the fun of going into dungeons if your not going to kill monsters and take treasure..
"..But ill do whatever everyone else decides to do..kill monsters or go home..We have what we came for..so everything else is just for greed."
|
Elian's strange eyes stop their constant wandering and look with Fedorean. "Now what are you hiding, rogue? Hand the katana over. I will keep it until we return to our patron, I don't trust you."
He holds out his hand and waits for Fedorean to pass over the relic. "I can also examine those bottles to see if I can identify them."
|
|
"Sorry Mate..Abasi Has the sword..why would I keep it?..I don't need it, and anyway and its not useful in combat so its useless to me..you sure are a strange fella aren't you?..i just gave it back to him so ask him for it if you want it...here are the bottles, but if one of them is a health potion i need it..I'm still feeling a little ill from that spider bite awhile back..and by the way you might want to check that hidden compartment in the hilt..it may hold something valuable...."
..Fedorean gives a nasty look of disdain to those who have shown him disrespect and says.."
"..Your welcome...
He then walks over to the north door and listens for anything on the other side..

Abasi keeps a steady gaze on the elf. "Thank you for telling us that, Fedorean. I'll hold onto the sword. If you'd all like to continue deeper into this place, then I will not abandon you. Are these storerooms our agreed upon destination? There are still those places we did not venture to on our way in; shall we take a look there after we get done with this?"
Abasi opens the hidden compartment and takes a look inside.
Fedorean looks at Guido and says,
"From what i could tell it is a piece of parchment, but i didn't get a solid look at it before the others started eyeballing me..maybe Abasi can read it for us and see what it is..If its another trade agreement, maybe we can add it to our collection?"
The parchment is written in both Kelish and Tian.
Moving on to the next room, it has a wide corridor exiting it toward the north, and a door to the West. Barrels and boxes of supplies fill the cramped chamber.
Guido finds nothing but junk and a barrel of Weevil-infested flour.

Abasi follows the others to the storeroom, slightly preoccupied with the parchment from the hilt. "It's another trade agreement. Though why it would be in the hilt... well, it's a bit suspect. Did it belong to Mistress Li's ancestor, or the prince to whom he gave the katana? And who should we return it to? That Qadiran agent, or Mistress Li?"
|
|
"we do have a third option..since we don't know who it should go too, we could just keep it ourselves, keep it a secret and see which one of them looks for it..Mistress Lee didn't say anything about it..and neither did the Qadiran agent..he was looking for these other agreements i believe..what exactly is the agreement for Abasi?..does it say?."
|
|
Elian is very interested in the turn of events. He is quiet for a moment of pondering. "For once, I'm inclined to agree with Fedorean. Nothing was mentioned of the paper, though I'm assuming that is exactly what Mistress Li was interested in."
He looks around at the rest of the area. "Shall we continue our exploration? I'm very interested in what lies beyond these rooms.
|
|
"It seems to be an agreement with a group called the Way of the Kirin. Ring any bells? And it's for quite a considerable sum... let's meet with Mistress Li first when we return. I will not deceive her - but I do not wish to give her anything that might not be hers, regardless of the intentions of Qadira. Though I feel badly for this Way of the Kirin... I would not wish to pay this sum."
Abasi tucks the agreement back into the hilt and the katana into his backpack.
You discover quite quickly that the Northern tunnel ends in a collapse, leaving the door on the West wall the only other way out of the storeroom.
This crossroads of stairs has one dominant feature: a crumbled statue in the southeast corner, once the image of a proud warrior chiseled roughly in granite. The statue’s helmeted head now rests on the floor, its lifeless stone eyes gazing toward the south. On the helmet, a single Kelish word is carved in the stone. The wide stairway to the north leads to a passage that ends in a cave-in ten feet past the foot of the stairs.
You can see into the next room as well. Cracked and crumbling frescos line the walls of this large empty room. The sections of the frescos not destroyed by the passing ages show Qadiran men engaged in battle. A rough stone tunnel leads off to the northwest, as if the ground simply cleft in two ages ago. A pile of bones rests just inside the passage.
You can tell that this room connects to the entrance you used to come into the ruins.
Fedorean uncovers four vials of Alchemist's fire that Guido missed.
Fedorean doesn't see anything else notable in the next room.
Fedorean sees a hallway, at the end of which stands an unusual-looking fountain. However, as he peers into the hall, the bones in the corner of the room rise up with a clatter into a Skeleton!

The skeleton lurches towards the Elf, clawing him with its bony fingers, causing a nasty scratch.
