"So, let's keep going..."

(Er... to the next place we was gonna go... I forget?)

Nodding, Olven says, "Do we want to hang onto these documents?  Anyone have anywhere safe to put them?" Once they're finished, he follows the others back into the hall, his spear in hand, once more taking up the rear guard.

"I have some room in my pack, it's no vault, but should suffice."

Rolling the papers up, Olven hands them to Owain.  "OK, you can take them if you'd like," he says.  "Well, let's get going, then."

The heroes left the room. The corridor continued to the left and there were a number of doors they hadn't explored yet. And to the right there were areas they had as yet not looked at.

The heroes went to the bend in the corridor. Three doors in the left wall after the turn and the corridor ending in the distance without other exits.

"Door one?" he asked, gesturing and readying to open it.

"Perhaps we should knock, first. There appear to be more people here than I expected."
D'aden motions to go ahead, but is watching the other doors.

He opens the door.

At the back of the group, Olven stays alert, ready for action, axe in hand.

Looking inside, they saw a room that seemed to be occupied, though no one was in the room at the moment. Candles were lit, there was a bed, a desk, a chest, and a closet.

The floor and walls were the same hewn stone they had seen elsewhere in the Lyceum. But the candles excuded a musty scent that was difficult to place.

"Check for valuables," he suggested. "It's not stealing if they're miscreants, and if they're not, we can always return them later with an apology."

"If they left the candles lit, they would intend to return soon. Perhaps awaiting them would be a better plan. They may have went to retrieve a valuable, and they may have a way to secure them so that we can claim more than we can carry."

"Candles last hours, and there's something funny about these. If you don't like it, we can continue on, but waiting is a poor proposition, I think."

"For an abandoned arcane repository, there sure is a lot of traffic around here," Olven says.  "Let's search the room quickly and continue on." He walks into the room and begins searching for items of interest.

Owain stands watch making sure no one is coming.

Olven searched through the room quickly.

"Found a couple of things here.  A composite bow and quiver, some clothes, a decorated halberd."  He brings out the weapons.  "Should we leave 'em here or take them with us?  D'aden, any idea what these are worth?"

"Let me take a look at it, but if you don't mind my saying so, taking items from what appears to be a person's dwelling feels a bit like thievery. I don't like feeling that way."
D'aden will examine the bow, wondering both about what it's worth and how long has it been here.

D'aden examined the composite bow.

"It's not a bad bow, I'm sure it's worth something. I would still suggest we attempt to locate the owner rather than assume it's salvage."

"Meh. Unless they're magical, they're not worth much, relatively. I say it's better to keep the goodwill of the occupant and leave them. And I don't think even if the fancy halberd is magical, it'd be very useful. Not many use that weapon.

"Shall we continue to the next door?"

Tarhall entered the room and looked around. "Actually that halberd is magical," he said and touched the bow. "I don't get anything from the bow though."

"Considering what we've seen thus far, I wonder why anyone would leave these things behind, especially with no lock. I'll step out and watch while you decide what to do."
D'aden places the bow on the desk, and moves to leave the room. It is apparent he's ready to move on.

The heroes continued to the next door.
