"Damn! This arch is also protected as was the other... Revered Daughter, do you have another spell to shape stone?"
There are some cracks, but they're quite small and Jakun's not sure they go all the way through.
Dubiously Caitlyn eyed the cracks, "We're not going to have to try and dig through that are we? I suppose we could drive pitons in hope that we widen them. Could take some time, won't exactly be quiet..."
"Let's try it Caitlyn. If we can get a crack through I can use magic to slip in, I do not want to waste the power if we are not sure it will work though".
Caitlyn shook her head at the absurdity of what she was about to try. She tool a pair of foot long iron pitons from her pack and by hand wedged them into the biggest crack a foot apart. She then gently used her hammer to force them in as far as they'd go easily, leaving them both stuck in the wall.
Then rolling her shoulders she gave them a practiced look before smashing her hammer into them for all she was worth!

Caitlyn felt like she'd hit a stone wall, but the blue-black stone did give just a little. It took more than an hour of hard pounding, but she worked a crack through the archway.
Dripping with sweat, Caitlyn stopped for a breather. She fumbled with her canteen before popping the lid off and downing the lot. Still breathing heavily, she asked Jackun, "Can you get through that, or do I need to start training as a miner?"
Jakun grins, "Perfect".
He casts Gaseous Form and slides throgh the crack to explore the otehr side!
Jakun wafted his way through the crack and found himself on the far side of the arch.
The Revered Daughter continues her prayers to the Platinum Dragon.
In gaseous form, Jakun searches the area beyond the archway.
Caitlin couldn't help a disapproving frown when Jackun's art turned him into a mist. If that spell had been done wrong, the results could have been as horrifying as they where gross. And that was far from the only danger, if he mistimed things he might revert to his normal from on the other side and be stuck... Frustratingly there wasn't anything she could do but wait and worry, and pace. She hefted her hammer, it's weight was reassuring - yet useless all the same.
In gaseous form, Jakun searches the area beyond the archway.
Jakun found a chamber that mirrored the other, save for the cracked archway. The hoard numbered thousands of steel pieces, jewelry, and gems. Within it lay also a suit of plate and a helm of dwarven make.
Jakun assumes his normal form and casts Detect Magic on the suit and on the helm.

Jakun sees no magic about the armor, but the helm radiates necromancy.
Jakun will lift the helm and inspect it. He also considers whether some steel should be lifted but the helm is of greater importance to be sure!
