"Straight." Uthecar states on hearing where the passage to the right might lead.  'Let's get on with it."  He walks forward leading the way.

Zan takes the time to draw up a crude map of where they currently are to help keep track of things.

Zan is now moving at the normal speed of dwarf.

Humm.... should I make the scale in dwarf steps or elf steps.    rofl..

Myrrick nods, following his dwarven companions, his halberd ever ready to strike at the enemies that will undoubtedly come to see them soon.

The party creeps down the hall. The elfs roll their eyes at the dwarves' inability to move stealthily, but all things considered, they're doing a pretty good job. Some forty feet go by when another passage opens, this one heading left.

You have 3 choices: Retreat, Go left, Advance. What'll it be, boys?

Uthecar is for moving forward, and will keep moving forward unless anyone suggests different.  He doesn't care to much which way at this stage.

Kullonar follows his companion.

Myrrick stops at the junction, listening down the left hallway before moving forward. Having enemies on both sides wouldn't be wise.

OOC: Sorry for the silence. RL is going to be busy until after the 14th as I've got big meetings followed by bigger meetings involving travel to a huge conference. I'll try to check in a couple times a week in the meantime, but feel free to NPC me to keep things moving!

Bruno nods in agreement with Uthecar and moves forward with his crossbow loaded.

As the rest of the party moves on, Myrrick halts for a moment and listens. He discern's little, but there are still soft sounds similar to what was heard up the corridor, though at a much lower volume.

"We're lost, aren't we?" Weasel mumbles.

Uthecar stops a moment, turning his head left then right as if listening and getting his bearings before saying "Naa, we're exploring," as he again marches forward.

Zan lightly pops Weasel on the head,  "We're not lost, we have choices.  Besides I'm making a Map"

OOC: yeah I when there, pop goes the weasel   LOL

With Uthecar the Adventurous in the lead, the party marches another 50' down the corridor, where upon you find yourselves at a crossroads that ends at an alcove (10x10) on the left and a corridor running some 30' or so to the right.

You note that the area seems sort of familiar. As you explore further, you realize that on the wall ahead is the secret door that leads into the wizard's workroom, to the right is the corridor that splits in multiple directions.

Basically you've just gone in a fairly substantial circle.

ooc: I'll be putting the map back up for your review later tonight or tomorrow.

OOC: The maps are up.

It's about midday - the party stops and rests for a bit before determining their next course of action.

The three adventurers who've tagged along converse in low tones in the middle of the workshop. At last, Bruknar approached and said, "I'm for stickin' with y'uns if you'll have me. As for Spirly and Widly, they look ready to head home."

"Tell them to be off then," Kullonar says, not caring one way or the other.
"Each has our mission it seems."

"Hmmmpf.  No one that wants to go, is held here, but they'll need to find their own way out."  Uthecar likewise doesn't seem to care what Spirly or Widly do.

OOC:  Anyone got a preference?  Around the outside, or shall we finish off the left hand side?  If no one cares otherwise Uthecar will head to the south and then west to look to fill in the gaps on the left hand side of the map.

OOC: Finish off the left side.

OOC: Use the room numbers to indicate where you're going on the left hand side so that we can move this along.

OOC:  Room 13

As the party exits the wizard's room, they bid farewell to the two gnomes, who set off in a direction opposite the party.

You all make your way up the corridors with ease, Bruknar in the second rank behind Myrrick and Uthecar, following winding passages meant to confuse. At last you come to a doorway.

1st: everyone make a perception (wisdom) check at -5. If you roll over your wisdom -5 you fail.

2nd: Weasel notes the door appears unlocked, and he's indicated no traps. What will the next step be?

11:19, Today: Kullonar rolled 2 using 1d20-5.  Wisdom check.

Clueless as usual, Kullonar says, "Don't dally, lad. If the door's unlocked, go on in."

OOC:
13:29, Today: Bruno Rhunthane rolled 0 using 1d20-5.  Wisdom Check.

I've been playing 5E, so my rules memory is muddled -- if we add our Wisdom ability bonus to this it's actually 3, rather than O.

Bruno grunts in agreement with Kullonar's words to Weasel.

Not thinking the boy is strong enough to be front line, Uthecar will shoulder past to open the door himself.

06:32, Today: Uthecar Hornskin II rolled 3 using 1d20-5.  Wisdom roll.
