The bottle smokes like the dickens when the stopper is removed and doesn't quit until the stopper is replaced. Thick black smoke too.
Ibrah hands Gorrim a trail ration, then murmurs a few words over the waterskin to refill it.
I suspect my studies of the arcane may have been less... standardized than most, perhaps I can discern additional information regarding these objects.
bag
sack
orb
boxes
bottle
anything I missed in the various messages :P
Unless I miss my guess, that orb allows someone like us to store spells in it. However, the spells Gorrim describes are considerably different in power.
Ibrah tries to help Verrin identify the items.
Then he puts the Amulet of Mighty Fists around his neck and rolls his shoulders before punching the air in front of him a few times and nodding.
Thaane smiles and then shrugs his shoulders while looking at the bottle.
Hmm. Think I'll keep it.
The orb is indiscernable, likewise the empty sack made of silver thread.
The Ioun stone is blue and shaped like a star.
Ibrah picks up the Ioun stone and lets it begin orbiting him.

Ibrah shrugs. Silvash. He tosses the stone to the mage.
Verrin discovers that one box holds a pearl of power and the other box holds a Western star Ioun stone.
This ioun stone will all one of us to disquise our appearance. A useful thing for any of us. For the moment perhaps you should make use of it, Gorrim. That may allow us to conceal your escape for a while longer. And this pearl will allow Silvash or I to return one of our spells to memory each day.
Heh. Well...you're probably right. I think Laholm has another one of them there pearls lying around back at Kilm. If we make it back. Heh. Seriously though, does anyone else smell food?
Smells like it is coming from above us. Can't yous smell it?
I smell it. Thaane exclaims with the same excitement and hunger.
Yes, lets get up there, perhaps we kind find the end of these greyskins. I don't know how much longer we will last without a safe place to rest.
Someone to lead the way?
We are all injured, but I seem the most agile, I will drink another of my healing potions and lead the way. If none have better use for it, I could use the pearl to cast a shielding enchantment on myself as well.
I can help.
Gorrim pulls a wand from his pack with ease. He points it at Verrin who can feel its radiant warmth and soothing healing magic.
Anyone else need a bump?
Yes, I am considerably injured.
Noticing this to be the case for everyone, Gorrim begins to heal everyone with the radiant warmth. Everyone except for Thaane.
"Thank you for the healing. I'll lead the way up as I am the quietest and my spell will help protect me."
As you wish friend Silvash.
Verrin steps back from the "ladder".
Gorrim points the wand at Ibrah, Khartelosch, and Silvash respectively.
Silvash climbs slowly up the foot holds and carefully opens the trap door which easily opens. As he sticks his head through the door, he notices that there are two gray-skinned dwarves unconscious on the floor, while their fresh plates of food still produce steam. There is a platter on the table in the room and an open door. A dark shadow quickly moves through the open door as soon as it notices Silvash.
Wand in hand, Gorrim aims at the wide-eyed Thaane before he remembers Thaane's curse.
"There are two grey skins here unconsious, looks like they were made that way by someone or thing else. All I saw was a dark shadow moving through the door"
Silvash enters the room and looks out the door.
The hallway is stonefitted and dark.
Verrin rushes up to the room above in case whatever Silvash saw returns.
Still below, Khartelosch listens for the sound of running. Perhaps the upper and lower chambers are connected by more than one passage.
No running or foot steps are heard. Thaane helps Gorrim up the foot holds while Gorrim gripes about being touched by Thaane. The room upstairs appears to be a makeshift barracks. It is quiet. The food on the table in the center of the room overpowers any scents available.
Khartelosch waits until the others are safely up the ladder before climbing up it himself and closing the trap door after him. If there is a latch or bar of any kind, he engages it.
Ibrah inspects the food. Has any of it been eaten? Could there have been something in the food that knocked the dwarves out? While he looks at the food he says "Silvash, are you going after it?"

Thaane watches as Ibrah eats the food and then starts helping himself to the delicious roasted lamb legs.
Gorrim watches Thaane closely and after a few minutes tears into some roasted boar meet that was sitting on a platter. He eats so quickly that he gets sick.
Perception check please.
Ibrah notices that there are two darts, one in each of the necks of the grays. There is a rack against the wall which holds two muskets, a glaive, and two short spears. There are four cots and one chest in the corner. The room looks like a small barracks. It is about 500 square feet, 20' x 30'.
