Flipper returns with the trident and somehow lets you know there are passages in the water to the east and west rooms.
+1 Large Adamantine Vicious Trident
2d6 + Str bonus + 2d6 vicious damage to target and 1d6 to Lumpy
Fernleaf will use the gloves of Recon and check inside the other rooms (all charges used for the day).
C14 This narrow chamber looks empty save for a long, ten-foot-wide pool.
C15 A pool of water sits against the wall to the west of this chamber, with a set of steps leading down into it along the pool's east side. Opposite the steps is an alcove in which rises a fantastically detailed scale model of Skull's Crossing. The five skulls along its face seem to be actual human skulls, the bone polished to a gleaming sheen. A statue of a scorpion covered in skulls is near the stairs.
C16 To open the doors will take about 10 minutes of work to remove all the skulls stacked here. This narrow chamber ends at two curved alcoves, one to the east and one to the west. Each alcove
is enclosed by a dull iron portcullis. A winch next to each provides a way to raise or lower the gates. Beyond each portcullis a circle of runes glows with a faint orange light on the floor. Inside the circle to the west is a pile of crimson ash, while inside the circle to the east is curled what appears to be a long-dead devil, its flesh taut and dry on its bones.

The devil is in the details!
Fernleaf takes twenty on all the doors - no traps not locked as far as he can tell.

What is everyone doing?

From Fernleaf's descriptions you can surmise a few things:
1. The two circle of runes that glow with a faint orange light on the floor are somekind of magic circle to contain a creature.
2. If all the runes are functioning properly any trapped creature would be unable to escape, attack or use any spells outside of the circle.
From Fernleaf's description you are not sure of the type of devil (or possibly demon trapped), but think it may be close to death or dead. The ash in the other circle is probably the remains of another trapped creature.

We will release you in exchange for a very legal and binding contractual obligation to be decided upon by the group. You have already agreed to "anything" and we have witnesses. You will use every means available to grant us three requests of our choosing including time of choosing. If you agree, we will release you. You must never do harm to any person or creature you see before you.

Ready an action to flee if anyone pitches a deal to it.

You should know by now that neither Buchart nor Fernleaf have any intention of entering into, honoring or fulfilling a contract with a devil. Well, I guess I can only speak for Buchart. Silver? Arrows only. Thought I had a silver dagger, too, but...that wouldn't do either!

Sekkim is pretty sure that if you try to trick it, it will try to trick you, and that it will win that particular "trick" battle.

Buchart will have as good a look at the circles as possible. Are the runes Thessalonian (a language that Buchart knows)? Detecting Magic, of coarse. Then he intends to have a look at the pile of ashes, too.
Let's have a look at the other alcove, shall we?
