How dare you insult Lokmorr you filthy half-breed!
A creature of insane nightmare bursts from the darkness of the webs. Half dwarf, half spider-thing the humanoid has two legs, two arms, and 4 spider legs. It hisses with fury as venom drips from nasty looking fangs.
The dwarf arms fire rays of acid at Eng as the spider legs move about unnaturally, summoning dark ropy strands of webbing to attack Ghun.

Help Orett. Then look for treasure.
The spider/dwarf creature wore an amulet of mighty fists +1 and a ring of protection +2. A search of the area reveals a small pile of treasure from previous 'offerings' worth 2,000 GP.
Webs stretch between the walls of the chamber at the bottom of the shaft, supporting two large, webbed cocoons hanging a few feet above the floor. A large circular stone disk stands in the eastern wall of the room, surrounded by a circle of Dwarven runes. Three more runes are carved on the face of the disk. The great disk is flush with the wall and has no visible hinges or handles.
The webbed cocoons hold the mummified corpses of 2 female dwarves, which apparently served as icons for veneration. Strangely, the webs leave the bodies’ bellies and mouths exposed.
a sign of obedience to the demon lord Mazmezz.
Are we at the bottom near the cocoons and disk? Did we search cocoons? If not detect magic and evil on them. Any chance to know anything about the runes or the disc?
You are at the bottom of the shaft.
The disk (door) is in front of you, about 15'.
You did search the cocoons, that's how you know they were female dwarves.
No magic or evil.
Linguistics check for runes knowledge. Or let me know if anyone speaks dwarf.
Does Daardra have any open language slots?
Pretty sure that's not how that works....
Pretty sure that's not how that works....
If her Int increased and she forgot to add a language, couldn’t she pick dwarven?
Detect magic on disc door, if no magic detected then open the door.
After some cautious study, Eng finds the door radiates a powerful aura of transmutation.
Do I know if it is safe to bring down the dwarf corpses?
[dice=know planes]1d20 + 14
Do I know if it is safe to bring down the dwarf corpses?
They didn't detect as evil or magic so you think it should be safe enough?
bring them down, There shall be no obdience to Messymaz.
The mummified remains descend to the ground without struggle.
“Is everyone ready to open this strange disc door? It’s radiating transmutation magic so I’m not sure what to expect.”
We could go back to town and buy a scroll which will let me read this language, if not than I'm as ready as ever.
Anyone with ranks in linguistics?
none here
Negative for Eng and Ghûn.
Eng will try the door.
Eng's feeble strength is soundly rebuffed by the dwarven craftsmanship of the door and it does not budge.
“Maybe Ghûn could break down the door or maybe we find someone that can read dwarven or get some magic that will let us read it. What do you say Daardra?”
try
if none of that works than back to town to acquire some read language scrolls.
