Binx closes his eyes and puts his hat over his heart, "Just like that..." After a quiet moment he regains his composure, "All the more to strengthen our resolve. Onward."

"Yes Binx is correct, we must save the last one, let us follow the trail and resume our search. Poor boys never had a chance, and this place could be a danger to far more than they if these creatures escape." Orlen tells his friends.

Marching order

	Ni
		Cl		Ba	Ba
			Jo	Ba	/Bi	Th
		Or

/ = sharing square under
\ = Sharing space over
Be = Beagan
bo = boy
Ni = nixif
bi = Binx
Th = Theo
Jo = Jovius
Or = orlen
Ba = Dire bat
Cl = Clover

Beagan, please decide where you would like to be in the marching order.

(note:, my char is intentionally staying ahead of the group. so if anyone tries to move up to match Nixif's advance then he will advance further ahead.

The bat will also stay in the middle, but no more than 40 feet from Nixif (if we scouts end up in a foot race or something ;p)

Binx chose to walk under the bat

Nixif's move silent roll was 31.5, hide roll is 21.5, a 'passive spot' of 19 and a listen check of 20.
Bats move silent is 30 and its hide roll is 34 (one stealthy bat).
and because it's so stealthy, Imma say it is currently on the roof (it has a climb speed).
The dire bat has echo location blind sense of 40 feet, a 'passive spot' of 19 and a 'passive listen' of 23.

[OOC: Sorry, rpol wasn't working well for me yesterday. Maybe the site was in maintenance or my computer was having an 'episode']

With everyone organized the party heads east out of the room following the trail for the last of the missing boys. Past the 'T' junction the corridor continues and the wall decorations continue their change from idyllic forest wholesomeness into illustrations of darker, meaner, scenes.

Nixif, Orlen, and Clover: what are your detect traps numbers?

ooc

if you are using spot 19 (bat) and 25 (nixif), 21(bat) for echo location blindsense

if you are using search then 21(bat) echo location blindsense and 24(nixif)
I have trapfinding like a rogue.

Orlen resumes searching for traps and tracks

Orlen has a +7 to search to find traps
He has a +0 to survival for tracks

The trail leads down a corridor for 40'. The corridor ends in an archway of bones, in the chamber beyond it can be seen that bones are cast about the floor and embedded in the walls. Mixed in with the bones are bits of rotted clothing, the glint on iron weapons, and the occasional glint of silver and gold coins.

Sir Jovius cocked an eyebrow
"Well.....that certainly looks like an inviting place to visit "

Nixif looks over the ark for a moment before turning to Beagan "ok hammer boy, your up."

Orlen isn't so sure about this place "Yeah inviting if you are a ghost perhaps."

Orlen looks about the floor of the place to see if there is a rock or something loose to throw.

Binx looks around in disbelief, <yellow>"The stone here seems to enjoy fusing with folks. We should be wary."

Good one...

“This is a most disturbing scene.  Perhaps we could throw the carcass of the plant beast in here. If you notice the organic materials  are gone, though clothing mostly plant fibers, bone and metal are not consumed...

Beagan considers the scene
“DM Is it possible to shovel or rake material out of the room without entering it?

Perhaps slicing a hunk of meat and tossing it in will tell them something about what creature is causing this

There are small bits of gravel and small stones on the floor if someone wanted to toss that. For more substantial rocks or flesh, there is the shattered kid in the last room....

Orlen picks up a rock and tosses it into the room ahead to see what happens.

Beagan shakes his head and throws some pieces of meat into the room to see what happens

There is no observable effect from the rocks or meat being tossed into the room.

Updated Group 0 map for north portion of dungeon complex.

Clover observed others in the group testing the content of the room for some type of response, so Clover waits his turn knowing there are things he could do. Unfortunately they were not subtle, and doing them flippantly now would make doing them later more difficult...

Instead he looks around looking for movement not associated with objects being thrown at the contents, keeping an offensive effect readied just on case.

Clover rolled 5 using 1d20+4.  Spot check

Sadly Clover's hair keeps getting in his way and he spends much of his time pushing it out of his eyes.

To help with speed of movement as a team in the ...if x does then my character does


Clover is never up front, but most of his effects have a range of 60 ft or less. So he likes to be quite near the front.

Clover needs line of sight, but not line of effect. So he is almost never behind full cover. He will often move right or left to ensure he has line of sight.

Clover can heal things/Clover can directly harm things

Clover can anchor single targets in place/clover can prevent any force from anchoring a creature in place.

Clover can make you very good/or very bad at a skill check.

Sir Jovius nodded grimly
"well, folks, either the monster in question is biding it's time, or is absent altogether.  So it seems rude to keep.it waiting.   If there are no objections, I'll enter and investigate more closely. "

Nixif chills near the ark and just watches, keeping vigilant.

"Good plan.  I will keep lookout."

Though Sir Jovius thought he might, perhaps, he acting a bit impatiently, but he wanted to move forward
The halfling swashbuckling knight moved forward, carefully, keeping his eyes peeled for trouble

Secret secret secret

The dire bat will move to near the ark with nixif, 20 feet from Sir Jovus

Binx keeps his eyes peeled as he moves with the bat.

[OOC: I waited a while to see if any of the other characters were brave enough to accompany Sir J into the room. I guess they aren't!]

The bravest little hobbit halfling of them all enters the room and sees...


Those waiting in the hallway hear the sound of scraping rock coming from somewhere behind them.
