"We can only hope. Not holding my breath though...Merchants are out to save themselves some coin..."
Grimaldi shrugged at the notion.

"Ah, if we are not done, we should finish what we promised before asking for more. Hustle?"

In reply to Sederic (msg # 256):
"How about we head back to the intersection, and head westward? We should have about five sets of signs left, then we can get out of here, get paid, and have those drinks we were talking about."

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 257):

you head further along the passage, and wonder where the goblins had come from...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 258):
"Hold a moment.. There must be a secret passage somewhere, methinks.."
17:40, Today: Grimaldi rolled 8 using 3d6.  see secrets ~ 14 (second casting).

17:40, Today: Grimaldi rolled 15 using 3d6.  see secrets ~ 14.
Grimaldi miscasts the first try, and curses. "Fie! Confounded, fickle magick.."
"Secreta revelare..."
Grimaldi stands in the passageway a short distance from where they had met the goblins, and pans the passageway, looking for secrets...

"You want me to help, or guard?"

He looks around...

Grimaldi answered, while he magically investigated the passageway.
"This shouldn't take long. Keep a lookout, if you would, please.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 260):

"With pleasure..."

In reply to Sederic (msg # 260):

you see a faint outline of a low door in one wall. there is no obvious method of opening it.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 263):

In the distance you hear something from the direction the goblins went.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 264):
17:49, Today: Grimaldi rolled 4 using 3d6.  percepton ~ 14 (identify sounds) CRIT!
Grimaldi should know very well what he'd heard!

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 265):

You can hear faint giggling, and the stumbling footsteps of two sandaled intoxicated people about goblin sized.

"Hey, let's hide, and observe these goblins. Then, we'll know for sure where they have appeared from. We can check it out after we're done with this job, later! They sound like they have visited, yon tavern..Ha!"
Grimaldi said, as he urged the group around the next corner!

Sederic will follow the advice as quietly as possible.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 268):

The two goblins, who obviously cannot hold their liquor stagger past you obliviously, and head down the corridor from whence they came. You can see one of them swing the peculiar key that is chained to its wrist, spinning it in a circle. A slab of the wall themn swings open, obscuring them from view, and it starts to close...

"Mmmm.. Yess.. They'll be back at yon tavern soon, me thinks. We could try and get the key off them, when they do...Or I could probably get through the keyhole on my own, but I would only be able to take the clothes on my back, my sword, and perhaps a first aid kit. If I can get the key and let you all inside, while they sleep it off, we migh be able to steal them blind... What say ye? We may have to slay them... I can go in, and see if it's worth it, by making myself a vapor, and coming back out, to report my findings, and we can discuss a raid..., Mademoiselle?  Messieurs?"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 270):

"Did you see what they did with the key? They didn't stick it in the wall, they swung it!"

In reply to Evain Kalliope (msg # 271):

"So is it a secret door, or a magical secret door?"

In reply to Gaston Norral (msg # 272):
"Perhaps a secret door, with strange architecture, to aid in it's concealment?"

You could always detect magic

In reply to Narrator (msg # 274):

16:38, Today: Grimaldi rolled 13 using 3d6.  detect magic ~ 14. success by 1
"Let's see.." Grimaldi gestured and spoke magic words..
"Arcana Revelare!"

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 275):

The 1yard area of wall where the goblins disappeared radiates faint magic.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 276):
"Well, now all we have to do is get that key, somehow.. I wonder what they're at, behind there... Doesn't seem to be much about we can do now, though. Let's finish with these signs, so we can get paid, and on with some real adventuring, rather than advertising."

In reply to Grimaldi (msg # 277):

"I think we would be better off waiting until they come out...bit risky to have just one person break in there alone I think. Unless there is a better reason than robbing a couple of drunk goblins..."

In reply to Sederic (msg # 278):

With the location marked, you head out toward the next intersection. You can smell the rank odor of lowgrade burning hemp.

Make a Northport area knowledge roll, IQ-4 as default.
