Moving left, the ten foot wide corridor goes about 30 feet ending at a wooden door that appears to be slightly ajar. the latching mechanism is definitely destroyed.
there are claw marks all over the door.
the stench of decaying flesh lingers about. definitely coming from whatever lies beyond the door.
You can make out the sounds of some sort of guttural growl from the other side. it sound much like the sounds of the Ghasts you encountered earlier.
Sora hisses. Tatsuo tenses and looks at the rest of the group. "Sounds like it might be more ghasts," he whispers. He gets ready to blast any creatures that approach them.

There are two ghouls in here you make out the second one hiding in the corner waiting to pounce
directly ahead is a This humanoid creature with long, sharp teeth, and its pallid flesh is stretched tightly over its starved frame holding what appears to be the arm of a lizardfolk. upon seeing you it begins to come forward to attack.
this creature could possibly have once been a human

Jeironn tries to poke the door open with his weapon.
the door actually is a pull to open but either way you can easily do so. the door itself cannot latch and was already partially open.
you see what is in the spoiler above when the door is opened.
also perception check
whoops forgot, Tat you are group A
Tatsuo sends a small zap of electricity at the creature.
It does little damage as Sora moves in to engage with her long neck.
Sora's mighty jaw crunches down on the undead thing's neck, ripping out a significant portion of it.
Jeironn and Mickey are up
DC 21 Perseption when you enter to see what the spoiler has to offer
Jeironn springs forward, and attacks with his polearm.
Mickey whistles loudly.
Premi takes a double move to as far as it makes him with Reeves on his shoulder.
He moves to the outerplanes-dragon's other side.
He chants a druidic incantation and a circle of green magic appears at both ends of his staff.
He reaches the end of his movement and sets in a position ready for the second monster's attack. He faces towards the second, indicating where it is.
"Two of them."
The Ghoul that everyone saw initially was torn to a smelly icky pile of gooey rotting body parts without enough substance left for the necromantic energies to keep together.
As if on cue form Mickey's warning, the ghoul in the corner lumbers out and strikes out at Jeironn.
but the ghoul's claws do not possess the strength to penetrate his armor.
These ghouls were once human and what is left of their clothing seems to indicate that they became ghouls relatively recently.
Their clothing is of Osirion design.
These creatures have only been in this state for less than 10 years. Also they are NOT bodies from the crypt way back in the beginning.
block C is up (rest of the party)

Letha's divine energy rips through the Ghoul and that coupled with Conner's hit, the second Ghoul is ripped apart.
"Always a good combat when no one is hurt."
+1 vs traps
Jeironn searches the room.
The room appears to have once been a comfortable meeting room; however, any items of value or decoration have been viciously destroyed.
Claw marks cover the walls and floor, and carrion smell thickens the air.
among the debris in the room Jeironn finds what appears to be some sort of journal.
opening the journal the first thing to be noticed is a letter that almost falls out when you open it:
Lissette -
We haven't heard from you for days now. I've heard you talking to something in the room, but you still forbid us entry. We fear your foolishness has cost us our lives!
If we had just collected a ransom, or simply freed the girl from her glass prison and been done with it!
Mickey nudges a downed beasty with his stick.
"Human."
He says, noting that they were not lizards before.
Perception
Jeironn holds the note out for others to see. "This make sense to anyone?"
Tatsuo frowns as he nudges the dead ghouls with one boot. "Anybody remember how long ago this place was supposed to be sealed? These bodies look fresh. Or at least, newly-ghoulified in the past ten years. They're not like the bodies in the crypt earlier either." He pauses. "Although with that entrance to that lizardfolk layer, I suppose other people could have gone in an raided the area. Let's just hope they didn't take the treasure, or we're in quite a bit of trouble with all our debt." His voice is completely humorless as he mentions that nasty little surprise.
You finish searching the room and the journal is the only thing of value you found. there is a door across the room from where you entered.
Tatsuo moves to back Conner up, attempting to look over his shoulder with his glowing globe of door-opening-ness and Sora next to him.
Beyond the door is a corridor that goes forward a bit then turns to your right.
following along carefully the corridor ends at a metal door.
The door is closed.
The metal of the door seems to block detecting evil or magic beyond it.
the door must be made of lead.
"Too much rock and metal..."
|
The paladin curses under his breath in celestial "lead of course it's lead, that or this door is much thicker than it looks, but it looks like lead, this seams like a more fortified room, everyone get your weapons out, casters ready your spells and whatnot I'm going to open the door in ten seconds" he then precedes to count back from ten, at the five second mark he stops talking, raises one hand and counts down on his fingers before pulling open the door.
It all looked so perfect, the countdown, the hand motions, the weapons at the ready...
The door is locked
I need a stealth check from whoever is at the door.
you were unconcious, you have no idea how long nor how it happened. you remember running into a ghoul then you were unable to move, suddenly everything went black.
Now you awaken chained to the floor of a room. approx. 30 feet square. you are in a corner with a metal door to your left, and a a statue of what looks to be a sailor or pirate dressed rather fancy and holding a scroll (the carving is such that the statue appears to be reading teh scroll) in the wall near the statue is another wooden door.
You were awakened by the sounds of talking from the other side of the metal door.
The room you are in, a lush carpet adorns the floor of this ornately decorated room. large bookcases fill two walls and a desk with (unlit) oil lamps in one corner. near the wooden door is a large leather chair.
the only thing that seems totally out of place is the fact that on the "western" wall is a perfect circle burned into the bookcase and wall there. destroying most of the contents of the bookcase.
"Sorry, I'm not really trained in picking locks."
