The trapdoor reveals stairs leading about 20' down to the north. At the bottom of the stairs, the passage widens to 10' across, goes on for 20', and ends in a wooden door.
Gaius will take up the rear. He hands Frick the 10' pole and says, "Make sure you poke everything before you touch it."
Rosa shows up ready with Flich in toe
"Sure give me the 10' pole! Hey Amar, is there any magic in yonder passage."
Frick looks down the stairs and pokes around with the 10' pole.
As Frick works his way down the tunnel, he kicks up a lot of dust. Other than the evidence of the goblin's scuffle, which includes some bones, there is inch of dust on the floor. The first door is actually a stone panel with a crank off the the side.
"Prod around in there Frick, see whats on the other side"
take the pole off the drow and start prodding things
Other than kicking up a ton of dust, nothing happens as you poke the stone walls and floor.
"Bah, quit wasting time. They already triggered the traps in this room the first time. Just give the door a good solid prod and lets be through it." Gaius says, snorting and choking on all the dust.
Get them at it then, little king
"Pole." Gaius says, walking up and snatching the pole from Rosa. He walks up to the door and slams the pole into it a few times from 10' back. If nothing happens he will open the door and proceed slowly, prodding the ground and walls 10' in front of him firmly before walking over them.
Nothing happens when Gaius hits the door. As he turns the crank, the door begins to lift up from the floor.
Once the door is halfway open, a massive gout of flame bursts out from through the door, engulfing the entire hallway from the waist up.
Rosa stands still and waits wile the flame shoots out around her (Fire Resistance 5) once it has stopped, she looks to see who is badly harmed.
Gaius hears the trap activating and crouches low, on instinct just before the flame gouts out into the hallway, he leaps high into the air doing a somersault, avoiding most of the fire.
"I'm fine, just singed m' toes." Gaius says.
Gaius quickly goes over to the crack, and cranks it back to full open before the trap resets. He then removes an iron spike and the hammer from his bag and pounds the spike into the wall above the crank to keep it from turning back and lowering the door.
While he is working he will attempt to do it quietly and keep his eyes and ears trained on the next room.
"Frick stay this side of the door until I call.
Then Rosa bends past Gaius as he works and step into the next room/hallway, Sword ready.
"Hello dead flesh!, any one home?"
The door opens to another hallway. This one has two alcoves, one on each side, with statues in them. After the statues, the hall continues for another 60' before it ends in a magnificent double door. In response to Rosa's call, there is a loud pounding and sratching on the other side of the doors.
"Well I think we have found the deadites, and looking at the alcoves here I would say a floor tripped or pass trap, from one to the other, Give me that pole and lets see which it is."
Rosa grasps the Pole that Gaius put down to do his spiking and starts prodding the floor.
"No we know the undead ones are the other side of that door we can set up a killing area topside with all the boys, let them come to us and drop rocks on them as they come up and just cut them down on at a time. going into them would be silly, What do think little king, walk in blind or set a trap of our own?"
Prod Prod..
"We can let them come to us in the bottleneck here, but the goblins are too soft for this. We should handle it ourselves. Frick can hold the doorway here, we can stand behind him and shoot arrows, and magic. You wanna poke your way down there, start em burning and then hustle back?"
"Your getting the Idea now Gaius, so lets see whats down here shall we"
Rosa pokes around trying to set off the traps
Nothing happens while Rosa is poking around the statues, although you do notice that they are statues of dwarves that appear to have once been holding poles, probably weapons.
Rose will pour water on the floor and see if any runs down a cracks, Trap floors and the like,The she will move past them slowly taking one step and a time, looking any thing odd. Any wholes in the walls, odd sounds, that kind of thing,
The water simply pools itself in place when Rosa pours it on the ground. This passage was obviously very well made. The rest of this hallway really does seem to be mundane, but the pounding on the double doors continues.
Up to the doors then, tap with the poll the doors.
"Hello undead flesh, would you like come out and meed us?, we would really like you to meet some one"
Her great sword mouns
"Soon sweet, soon"
Cast "Hide from Undead" then pop open the door, stepping back fast into an alcove.
As soon as Rosa opens the door, three grotesque figure come bursting through the opening. The creatures look like they used to be dwarves, but now they are merely husks, with hideous fangs and long, snake-ish tongues.
Standing behind Frick, Gaius will unleash two arrows past his shoulder at the lead undead creature.
Perception
Reflex Save
"That fire burned the tips of my ears! Come and taste my blade undead midget scum!"
Power Attack
Damage
One of Gaius's arrows lands in the monster's neck, but it shows no signs of stopping.
Frick barely misses the lead beast, but Amar's ray catches it right in the gut.
All three continue to press forward, one attacking Rosa, and another Frick, while the third fights to push past its two brethren.
>>
>>
Gaius will take another two shots on the lead undead creature.
Round 1 -> Cast Invis to undead, move to alcove.
Round 2 -> Move to door, check room for others.
Round 3-> IF room empty, Move back attack undead from behind.
Frick power attacks
Damage
"How does metal taste my pretty?"
Round 3
Gaius will step back then fire another two arrows at any remaining undead.

Round 2
To keep going on with his spells Amar keep casting his anti-undead spell to cause some damage against the one attacking Frick
Attack Damage
Round 3
Seeing that trio of undeads are still coming Amar continues casting and trust the other members of party keeping the undeads away from him
Attack Damage
Gaius's second arrow embeds itself in almost the same spot as the first, bringing the creature down.
Frick easily cleaves right through his foe, sending undead chunks flying.
Rosa doesn't see anymore enemies approaching
Gaius's third volley also hits once, but isn't enough to take out the last monster. However, just as the arrows strikes, a sword comes up through the thing's ribcage from behind. Rosa's attack from invisibility catches the creature completely by surprise and kills it.
"Well, that was easy. Good work folks." Gaius says with a hearty chuckle. "See anything up ahead Rosa?" He crouches down near the closest undead figure, giving it a good look over.

Walking closer to corpses and looking at them Amar sneers and wide grin appears as thoughts comes on his mind Aah... if you do not mind I would like to... collect these creatures bodies for research and study purposes for later. They might add... some interesting theories and knowledge and who knows if I could use them for some recipes or arts
Giving a fast examination at the bodies and placing them neatly next to each other before continuing forward.
"Nothing coming that I could see, yes that we very well done. We may live yet"
Rosa picks up the 10' pole and start prodding around the new room as she enters slowly.
