In reply to Syvanus (msg # 52):

Kirpich is happy to allow Syvanus to scout ahead, and makes way for him to do so.

Danos falls in line as the group advances.

Syvanus takes the lead and scouts carefully forward.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 55):

Aside from the half dozen shattered skeletons  and their ruined rusted armor and axes, there is not much in this room, aside from a flught of stairs up, and another adamantine seal on the floor like the obe upstairs

In reply to Narrator (msg # 56):

"Adamantine. We should come back for that later and put such gifts of Grom into hands that will use it properly. For the appropriate offering for those that collected it, of course."

"It is quite valuable, if heavy. Be a shame to lose it because the Lich's lair collapsed about us. Can you move the stone around it, so we can have your minions carry it for us?"

"Is it safe to remove it?" Stringfellow looks around the area for any obvious marks on the floor or wall to indicate a trap.
If he doesn't see anything he will prod the seal with his boot to see if it moves.

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 59):

"My Allies already carry a heavy load. It has sat there for a long time...a little longer will not hurt."

"If you say so. Keep in mind that we may not have the opportunity to return... this could be an opportunity lost."

As the other debate the Adamantine, Syvanus does a careful search of the room and walls for hidy-holes.

In reply to Syvanus (msg # 62):

In addition to the secret door by which you entered, you find
 the mechanism for opening it from the other side, and steps
 leading upward, probably to the entrance hall that also has
the adamantine seal on the floor... the same seal that was on the jeweled skull.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 63):

"I would say we will be returning here to rest at some point Oren. So rather than carry it down further, and then have to leave it there if we find something more valuable, best to leave them here for now."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 64):

"Where to now?"

ooc so we have come in a circle, assuming the steps lead to the entrance hall?

In reply to Stringfellow Hill (msg # 66):

"Perhaps not. We cleaned all the skellys out of the entrance hall. This may be a new section, as we have gone down stairs..."

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 67):

Snorri mounts the stairs and peeps through the doorway.
 "It's the entrance way with the seal on the ground. We went in the right hand door and down, circled around and car to the left hand door. The middle archway is still there."

In reply to Snorri Roslovich (msg # 68):

"So this was just a little secret spot between the doors?"

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 69):

There were two large rooms with skeletons, and a secret passage between them with steps down to the ossuary.

"Have we searched here to our hearts content?" Oren asked. "Anything we've missed?"

Syvanus shrugs ... I thought we made a careful search...

"Any passages, stairs, doorways we missed?"

In reply to Oren (msg # 73):

Kirpich just lets the scouts navigate, which is meant to be one of their specialties.

In reply to Kirpich Rockson (msg # 74):

"That leaves door number three upstairs."

"Okay, let's head that way."

OK, I'll check it out...
