hearing the portcullis drop, and what he thought was laughter, Elathras calls out, "Who is laughing? What do you want?" going back to the portcullis he attempts to lift it, asking Beltin "Did you hear that laughter?"
Elathras pulls out his crowbar and starts working on the bars of the portcullis hoping he can bend them, "Keep watch Beltin, I don't trust the laugher",
after the first try, he exhales hard and proclaims "This may be harder than I thought."
Elathras wipes the sweat off of his forehead, and pulls the scarf back over his exposed nostrils, smiling at the team "Nothing works like a crowbar" He then heads back to the door at the end of the hallway, asking Beltin, "Do you think the laugher lives here?" he then listens carefully at the door while he looks for locks and traps. he then opens the door and looks inside.
"Indeed. We are quite happy you are with us!"
Would knowledge religion give any info about the face on the porticullis? Knowledge Religion
Beltin gives a mage armor scroll for Mit to whoever will cast it.
Beltin takes all pieces of the locking mechanism.
Irenicus takes the scroll and casts it effortlessly.
Elathras wipes the sweat off of his forehead, and pulls the scarf back over his exposed nostrils, smiling at the team "Nothing works like a crowbar" He then heads back to the door at the end of the hallway, asking Beltin, "Do you think the laugher lives here?" he then listens carefully at the door while he looks for locks and traps. he then opens the door and looks inside.

The floor of this room is five feet lower than the doors, and the entire floor burns with magical flames reaching to a height of two feet. In other words, there is a three foot gap from door level down to the top of the flames, the flames are two feet high, and the floor is at the bottom.
"Look Gruk, a flaming floor, good thing it's down there" pointing to the floor of the room Elathras, setting aside his hammer and torch, lays down on the floor in the hallway and hanging his arm out a little reaching slowly toward the floor to see it the flames are producing heat or not.
"Good time to rig a rope!!"
"Good thinking, Ela. This might be some sort of illusion and not actual flames. If so, I bet it's protecting something good!"
You discover that the heat starts one foot above the level of the flames and that the flames themselves are as hot as normal flames—the heat just doesn’t rise very high, for some reason.
Each door has a button next to it on the inside of the room to the left of the door. The button can easily be reached from the door without any risk of falling into the flames.
"Hey look Gruk a button" without thinking or asking he presses the button on the inside of the room to the left of the door.
Pressing one of the buttons by the east or west doors releases a thirty foot bridge from beneath the door, which extends at door level (three feet above the fire). In addition to the fiery floor and the buttons, the room has a third strange feature: chains hang from the twenty foot tall ceiling at ten-foot intervals, each chain fifteen feet in length.
"Hey look Gruk, a bridge" Elathras stands up, gathering up the torch and his hammer, using the handle of the hammer he presses on the bridge to make sure it's safe.
Beltin sees how hard the walls are to climb.
Elathras goes to the end of the bridge and looks around then he asks, "Hey Gruk, do you think we can swing on these chains?"
Elthras stands, alternating from scratching his head then scratching his rear end then rubbing under his scarf, "What do we do now Gruk? Can we use the falchion somehow?"
Beltin gets out 50' of silk rope. He begins passing it through the chain links so they can hand over hand.
Watching Beltin with much interest Elathras calls out to him "Is there some way I can help you Beltin?"
Mitleid presses the other buttons at the other door.
Mitleid presses the other buttons at the other door.
"I can jump Gruk watch this Elathras, shrugging his shoulder, he tucks the torch in his pack and puts the hammer in it's place. Reaching out with his hands waiving them as he jumps off of the bridge toward the chain to the east.

As Elathras is jumping for the chain to the east, Mitleid patiently shoots the button for the southern door then he patiently turns and shoots the button for the eastern door, raising the bridge a foot below Elathras dangling on the Chain. Elathras looks at the two bridges and droping onto the bridge he smiles and returns fallen scarf to his nose, "Good shooting Mitleid!"
He returns and picks up his hammer and seeing the marksman dwarf turn south he moves toward the eastern door "I will take a look, OK Mitleid?" and looks for locks and traps, he opens the door and looks inside.
realizing the door was a fake he looks back and shrugs his shoulders, "Oops" he then turns to the other door on the west side and inspects it for looks and traps, he then attempts to open the door and look inside.
breathing a heavy sigh of relief as this door actually opens he draws the torch out of his pack and walks into the hallway. Calling back the asks [b]"You said always go right, right Beltin, so he turns to the west and follows the hall keeping a keen eye out.
The east door is a false door, the west opens to a hallway.
finding a door at the end of the hall, he turns and whispers to the team Look another door! he quietly approaches the door, inspecting it carefully for locks and traps, he then opens the door and looks inside.
opening the door and finding five sarcophagi; three of them being open, Elathras calls out "Look Mitleid, five coffins three are open lets look inside" the steps forward and looks into the middle sarcophagus seeing what is inside.
All three of the open ones are empty with the lids standing by them
the fourth sarcophagus contains a normal skeleton and a nest of mice
finding the three coffins to the east empty Elathras shrugs his shoulders and states the obvious, "The three open ones are empty, lets see what is in the other two." He leans his hammer against the wall and places the torch on the edge of the open coffin; taking out his crowbar he attempts to open the coffin beside the middle one.
the fifth sarcophagus contains a normal skeleton holding a rusted (and worthless) dagger.
Elathras goes to the last coffin "Mitlied, I hope we find something in this one." leaving his hammer on the wall, placing the torch on the nearest coffin Elathras pulls his scarf back over his nose and uses the crowbar on the last coffin.
Kaz follows the others silently continually casting Detect Magic, looking for any items that might jump out at him.
after opening the last sarcophagus and finding nothing Elathras puts up his crowbar and gathers up his hammer and torch, going back out to the hall he asks "Shall we look at the other hallway?" going back the way they came Elathras proceeds the other direction, turning the corner he sees another door.
"Hey look Mitleid another door, I wonder if there are button you can shoot." Elathras searches the door looking for locks and traps, he opens the door.
This room contains three sarcophagi, each with a single ruby set into
the stone lid.
Elathras smiles under his scarf, "Hey look more Sarcophagus and they have jewelry!" putting down the torch, and leaning the hammer on the wall he uses his crowbar to remove the lid on the coffin toward the east.
Contains a skeleton holding a silver goblet. It attacks you!
